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.

This looks more like C.ornithopoda, but the photo is too fuzzy to see the glumes and utricles. Neither this nor C.digitata is currently mapped in Scotland, let alone as far N as either of the Thurso's.
