Skye [name centred NG 45 35].

Registration: British.
(Location cited as N57 26.25 W6 34.75).
I G Whittaker 1998.
The location assigned to this record is essentially tentatuive, being derived from the unverified location that is cited by Whittaker. It presumably falls within the intertidal zone, opposite Dunvegan village, at the head of the loch. The Old Inn at Dunvegan is presumably to be equated with Dunvegan Hotel (NG24NE 26), at NG 25093 47832.
Loch Dunvegan is an extensive loch set into the NW side of Skye, to the W of Waternish.
