The Phyllodoce was gathered about dhrée-quarters of the way 
up the hill on the side next to Dalnaspidal. Carried with me some 
seeds of the Phyllodoce cerulea from the Botanic Garden and 
sowed them. on the spot where the plant was growing. There 
might be some seeds of Phyllodoce empetrifolia amongst them, as 
both plants are growing together in the Botanic Garden. Walked 
on to Dalwhinnie. Good inn kept by Pullar. Ben Alder—a 
high hill near, on side of Loch Ericht—worth visiting. Returned 
by train, which reached Dalguise at 6.5 p.m.
