Midlothian Vice-county 83 Scarce, Rare & Extinct Vascular Plant Register Silene viscaria Vicia orobus (© Historic Scotland Ranger Service) (© B.E.H. Sumner) Barbara E.H. Sumner 2014 Rare Plant Register Midlothian Asplenium ceterach (© B.E.H. Sumner) The records for this Register have been selected from the databases held by the Botanical Society of Britain and Ireland. These records were made by botanists, most of whom were amateur and some of whom were professional, employed by government departments or undertaking environmental impact assessments. This publication is intended to be of assistance to conservation and planning organisations and authorities, district and local councils and interested members of the public. Acknowledgements My thanks go to all those who have contributed records over the years, and especially to Douglas R. McKean and the late Elizabeth P. Beattie, my predecessors as BSBI Recorders for Midlothian. Their contributions have been enormous, and Douglas continues to contribute enthusiastically as Recorder Emeritus. Thanks also to the determiners, especially those who specialise in difficult plant groups. I am indebted to David McCosh and George Ballantyne for advice and updates on Hieracium and Rubus fruticosus microspecies, respectively, and to Chris Metherell for determinations of Euphrasia species. Chris also gave guidelines and an initial template for the Register, which I have customised for Midlothian. Heather McHaffie, Phil Lusby, Malcolm Fraser, Caroline Peacock, Justin Maxwell and Max Coleman have given useful information on species recovery programmes. Claudia Ferguson-Smyth, Nick Stewart and Michael Wilcox have provided other information, much appreciated. Staff of the Library and Herbarium at the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh have been most helpful, especially Graham Hardy, Leonie Paterson, Sally Rae and Adele Smith.

Edinburgh & West Lothian
Edinburgh & West Lothian: A landscape fashioned by geology The tranquil appearance of the city of Edinburgh nestling between the surrounding hills and the undulating countryside of West Lothian belies their dramatic volcanic past. The Lothian landscape took over 400 million years to reach its present shape. This book tells the story of its journey from erupting volcanoes, through rivers, seas and ice-caps, to the peaceful parks, restored quarries and level playing fields we see today. West Lothian EDINBURGHA LANDSCAPE FASHIONED & BY GEOLOGY There is probably no place in the world which better exemplifies "A Landscape Fashioned by GEOLOGY Lothian: & West A LANDSCAPEEDINBURGH BY FASHIONED Geology" than the area around Edinburgh. Here you can follow in the footsteps of James Hutton, the Father of Modern Geology, see what he saw, and better understand the processes that formed Edinburgh’s dramatic landscape. This booklet is beautifully accessible, taking you on a journey from today’s familiar hills and valleys to the icy wastes of two million years ago and further back, to the volcanoes and coal swamps of 350 million years ago when Edinburgh lay at the equator. What more exciting story could there be than the story in the rocks and landscapes of Edinburgh. Dr Stuart Monro, Scientific Director, Our Dynamic Earth About the Author David McAdam has spent a lifetime mapping and describing the geology of east central Scotland. He has contributed to three other titles in the `Landscape Fashioned by Geology ' series. Although recently retired, he remains a Visiting Scientist with the British Geological Survey to continue his interest in promoting Scotland's geological heritage.
