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.

4/1841. Marten's Den is a site of A Kerr's I have come across before, I don't know why he has spelt it wrong this time; 'Forfarshire' is most usually VC Angus.

[mossysal]

There are a couple more of Kerr's sheets on the database from "Marten's Den" Could this be "Martin's Stane" in Scottish?

see Martin's Stone at
OS Grid reference NO375375

in the Sidlaw Hills (see http://herbariaunited.org/specimen/284850/)

I have done the year by analogy with http://herbariaunited.org/specimen/300247/
