8 June 2009 David Pearman brought to my attention a book detailing James Robertson's expeditions in Scotland in 1767-1771.  Whilst he did not visit Raasay, he did list plants on Skye giving many first records.  I have adjusted my History of Plant Recording page to give him a mention.

Following a reply from CWM I have reviewed and re-writtten the first Raasay and Rona records for five taxa.

25 May 2009 Having re-read Johnson's & Boswell's accounts of their visit to Raasay in 1773 for the first time in several years, I have updated the History page and the first records for four species have been re-assigned to Boswell, 1773.
