After paying bill and arranging for transmission of baggage 
to Dunkeld by a cart, the party left ina conveyance for the head

Epilobium angustifolium Polystichum Lonchitis 
Near the Glen, in the woods :— 
Campanula latifolia | Melampyrum sylvaticum

party were not interrupted, although we went by the same route 
as my party in 1847 did. The gate at which we were stopped
