Friday, 16th July 1847. 
Party started about 7.30 a.m. after breakfast for Goatfell. 
This day party were joined by Dr. Blackie, Rev. Dr. 
Landsborough, and his son. On Goatfell met Grand Duke 
Constantine of Russia and his suite; the Duke chiselled his 
name with Mr. Keddie’s hammer on granite at summit of 
Goatfell—“ Constantine 1847.” The day was propitious, no 
rain, occasional clouds lighting on summits of hills produced a 
fine effect. Saw Ireland well and mountains of north Hebrides. 
After reaching the summit we proceeded by the rugged crest 
to the head of Glen Sannox, thence to foot of glen, to Corrie, and 
returned to Brodick about 7 p.m. 
On the ascent picked :— 
Alchemilla alpina Habenaria bifolia 
Drosera anglica | Narthecium ossifragum 
Many Cryptogamia, some rarer ones seen by Greville. 
Summit bare. Crumbling moist rocks on north side gave:— 
Thalictrum alpinum 
Saxifraga stellaris 
Sedum Rhodiola 
Oxyria reniformis 
Salix herbacea 
Juncus trifidus 
On summit :— 
Andrezea Rothii Andreza alpina 
»  rupestris | 
Searched in Glen Sannox for Avena planiculmts in vain,
