As well as the photography they were clearly making a lot of useful Ornithological records, just take a read of this from the CNS transactions in that period and wonder how many we don't find any more

11th August 1909 "Got up at 4.50am & at 5.15 Herbert called for me & we cycled up to Craig Jenkin with ½ plate & stereo cameras to take photographs of young nightjars. Arrived at Cairn on top at 6.15 after tremendous pull up the hill."

We thought you may like to see these from our archive ..

If you read the 1897 one you can see that there must have been some very short memories back then !

In our opinion these are ripe for anothere project if someone wants to engage with the Museum on doing so.

They had the Ingram diaries that we are now putting online catalogued as Salmon's diaries, but we were able to prove that was incorrect and have sorted them out
