Excerpt from Colonsay, One of the Hebrides: Its Plants; Their Local Names and Uses; Legends, Ruins, and Place-Names; Gaelic Names of Birds, Fishes, Etc;; Climate, Geological Formation, Etc
A collection of the plants of his native island was begun by the writer in 1903, during a period of convalescence, and was continued as a recreation, from time to time, as occasion offered. In 1908 the idea of making use of the material accumulated and arranging it for publication was conceived, and to put it into effect a final endeavour was made that season to have the plant list of the island as complete as the circumstances would permit.
