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.

I think it's 'Fiadh' and have edited the record using the only Glen Fiadh in the database.

However I can't track this down on a map, (there are entries for Gleann nam Fiadh in VC96), but several BEC reports cite Glen Fiadh, Clova, VC90.

I'm not sure
- that could be the location in this case, but there must also be a Glen Fiadh in VC90, referred to by several exchange club reports, (e.g. here) and also visited by W. J. Hooker

Gleann nam Fiadh NH165265 is in VC96 (East Inverness-shire)

[Chris Liffen]

Hooker refers to Craig Maud and Craig Rennet which can be seen near Acharn - http://www.multimap.com/maps/?#t=l&map=56.86944,-3.18386|14|4&dp=841&loc=GB:56.84443:-3.10387:14|clova|Clova,%20Glenclova,%20Kirriemuir,%20Angus,%20Scotland,%20DD8%204

sorry - don't know how to do it neatly.
