N.B. reporting of the edit history is currently fairly unclear and misleading. Most edits made to specimens appear as a pair of 'add' and 'delete' entries, which may not be together in the list. There are also often 'minor' edits, which are made automatically (rather than due to user activity), for example to merge synonym names.

Could be Craigallean Loch? Initials?

Craigalleach. A bryological record positions this at Latitude 56.50775 Longitude -4.332 = OS NN5637 now mapped as Creag na Caillich. Often described as 'near Killin' which is ~5km to the south.

Collector J Knapp. Probably John Knapp fl. 1836-1837, died 1857 (Kent & Allen) whose collection went to Edinburgh.
