EXCURSION OF THE ScoTTISH ALPINE BoTANICAL CLUB TO 
CRIANLARICH, 1908. By Mr. ALEXANDER COWAN. 
The members left Edinburgh on Monday, 27th July, 
for Crianlarich Hotel, Perthshire, which was chosen as the 
headquarters, owing to the proprieter of the hotel -at 
Tyndrum being unable to guarantee bedroom accommoda- 
tion. On Tuesday, 28th July, it was hoped to visit Ben 
Loaigh, but as the mountain was largely enveloped in mist, 
it was thought better, after the members’ experience on Ben 
Lawers in similar conditions a few years back, to wait for 
a more favourable day, and it was decided to take the 
morning train to Arrochar and walk from there along the 
shore of Loch Lomond to Ardlui, returning thence to 
Crianlarich by train in the evening. The day, fortunately, 
turned out very fine, but nothing of any great interest 
was found either on the roadside, on the shore of the loch, 
or on the higher ground visited by two of the members.
