Laxford? Perhaps Laxford River, Bridge and Loch in the NW Highlands around NC2545, but Dunsmure's other 3 specimens are from the Lowlands. I can't find anywhere called Saxford.

In The Edinburgh New Philosophical Journal Dr Graham reported 'Botanical Excursions in the Highlands 1833' (with a party of friends). Their itinerary was along the NW coast West Sutherland.



Laxford Bridge is at NC2346.
