28th June 1954.

Left Lawers by first bus (7.45 AM.) for Aberfeldy & on by train to Ballinluig where had to wait an hour:  which hour spent sweeping on right bank of the Tummel just above Tummel Bridge, in very nice sheltered ground with Oak, Ulmus montana, beech, alder, [[?]] &c. (= 1).  Went on to Blair Athol where had to wait 2 hours for Inverness express & spent this time in woods on right bank of the river (Mid Perth) & had lunch.  Very windy, but swept in shelter (= 2) in two places along tributary burns on steep hillside where found Juniperus communis & many other plants including to my surprise very tall Carex capillaris (about 200 feet above the river!)
