On the roadside to Whiting Bay there is abundance of 
Hypericum dubium. Near Whiting Bay Mr. Robert Cowan 
picked Cichorium Intybus. 
After bathing at Whiting Bay, party joined the “ Isle of Arran” 
steamer and proceeded round the island to Loch Ranza, where 
they landed about 5 p.m. On landing at Loch Ranza five took 
up their quarters at the inn, while the Messrs. Cowan went to 
Dr. Hannie’s house. 
The party went up the glen from Loch Ranza by the waterfall 
and gathered specimens of Pyrus fennica. 
Thursday, 20th August 1857. 
After breakfast, started about 8 a.m. from Loch Ranza and 
walked along the shore by Catacol Bay to Dugary, Imachar 
(where we rested), King’s Caves, Drumadoon, and Blackwater- 
foot, which was reached about 6.30 pm. The day was very 
warm and oppressive, and the party bathed three times on the 
way. 
Among the plants gathered were the following :— 
Crambe maritima (shore Asplenium marinum (rocks 
Imachar) at King’s Hill) 
Convolvulus Soldanella (shore Cystopteris fragilis (Loch 
at Blackwaterfoot) Ranza) 
Stachys arvensis Osmunda_ regalis (Loch 
Polygonum Raii (shore at Ranza) 
Blackwaterfoot) 
After resting at Blackwaterfoot and taking tea, the party 
started at 7.30 p.m. across the hill, and had some difficulty in 
reaching the Lag road, along which they proceeded to Lamlash, 
which was reached about II p.m. 
The distance accomplished this day was 40 miles, and all were 
very much knocked up.
