12th July 1954.

Left Durness by 8.15 AM. bus & arrived Lairg at 11.15.  Stayed again at Miss MacPherson's at Bridge-end & in afternoon was driven by a Mr. & Mrs. Graham (of Glasgow?) to the Falls of Shin where were many people watching the salmon trying to negotiate the fall.  I spent an hour & a half sweeping the steep S. side of the gorge - mainly birch wood & took the following insects there:-
