Returned by train passing Linlithgow at 6.39 p.m. 
—— 
Cockburnspath, Dunglass Dene, Pease Dene. 
Saturday, 17th June 1854. 
The morning was very unpromising, but 55 met at the North 
British Railway Station at 7.45 am. and proceeded to 
Cockburnspath. Return tickets, 2s. 
The day turned out very wet, and the east wind was very 
cold. The ardour of a great number of the party was damped 
on reaching Cockburnspath, and they remained at the Inn all 
day or returned to Edinburgh. Nevertheless 15 or 20 ventured 
up Dunglass Dene; on coming to the bottom of the glen, on 
returning, several of the party left for the purpose of walking to 
Dunbar and Linton. About 12 still remained who proceeded 
along the coast, but by the time the party reached Pease Dene 
only nine remained, who continued to the last, and got back to 
Cockburnspath at 3 p.m., when they got their habiliments dried 
at Mrs. Wetherall’s kitchen fire ; the drying scene was not a little 
ludicrous. 
A number of good plants were gathered :— 
In Dunglass Dene, besides some good specimens of ferns,
