After descending the mountain we rejoined our carriage 

 at Beinn Achallader farmhouse, near the old castle of that 

 name, and famous as the scene of a bloody battle between 

 two clans about 200 years ago. After partaking of the 

 kind hospitality of Mr. Stewart, the venerable farmer, we 

 left for Tyndrum, which was reached after a very enjoyable 

 drive. 



Thursday, 8tli August. — The day was again fine, but 

 rather hot for mountaineering. We took the train to 

 Crianlarich and ascended Cruach Ardran, a mountain 

 visited by the Club in 1891, On that occasion we 

 botanised the rocks on the right hand of the corrie going 

 upwards, but only the base of these rocks, and afterwards 

 went to the summit by the south ridge, and gathered some 

 good plants near the summit, which is 3428 feet high. 

 On this occasion we wished to examine the high rocks on the 

 south of the corrie. We accordingly ascended to the summit 

 of the south ridge and carefully examined the ridge, and 

 then went into the rocks from above. 



We found the rocks very productive, and collected amongst 

 other plants : — Gochlearia alpina, Wats. ; Silcnc acaulis, L. ;
