Wednesday, 8th August 1866. 
Rev. Mr. Shaw left this morning for England. The morning 
was fine and sunny. Party numbering eight left at 7.45 a.m., 
and crossed in Angus Macintosh’s boat, as the ferry has been 
abolished by Colonel Farquharson. Macintosh is head-keeper 
to Lord Holmesdale, who has the Ben Avon shootings. From the 
point where we crossed the river we walked to Little Craigendal, 
taking two turns to the right on the Ben-na-Bourd road. Found 
abundance of Astragalus alpinus low down on the west side of 
the hill. Plenty of it in flower. Examined the hill fully, and 
then descended on the Ben Avon side. Went up to the natural 
cairns of Ben Avon; on one we ascended there is a large rocking- 
stone. From Ben Avon walked to Ben-na-Bourd and descended 
into the glen, walked by the river to Angus Macintosh’s, and 
reached the hotel about 6.30. Mr. Naylor and Mr. Prankerd 
reached Braemar to-day, thus making our party ten. 
A letter was received from Dickie as to Cystopterts montana. 
He says that Croall found it on the south side of Glen Callater 
under large rocks below the cliffs. It was also found by Dr. 
Ogilvy on rocks at head of Canlochan below table-land leading 
to Glen Callater.
