Shetland Isles Local secretary: Paul Harvey, SBRC, Shetland Amenity Trust, Garthspool, Lerwick, Shetland ZE1 0NY; e-mail: sbrc@zetnet.co.uk; tel: 01595 694688. A visit to Britain’s most northerly island group will take place from 12th–19th July 2008 inclusive. As lower plants are relatively under recorded in Shetland, the primary purpose of this visit will be to record bryophytes. The field trip will include visits to all of Shetland’s main islands and the full range of habitats that this unique island group hosts. If you wish to register an interest in this field trip then please contact the local secretary. Aberdeenshire In addition to the week on Shetland a meeting is being organized in the week prior to Shetland for anyone who is interested in extending their trip to Scotland . This will be based in Aberdeenshire from 5 th to 11 th July and be arranged to facilitate onward travel to Shetland on the 11 th July. The main focus of this week will be the exploration of some little or unknown terrain to increase our knowledge for the next edition of the Atlas. However, there are also some delights in store, such a planned return to the site for Lophozia herzogiana found during the 2004 BBS meeting. Headquarters for the week will be in a self catering cottage near Turriff for those who prefer this arrangement, and of course members are also welcome to join for part of the week if they wish. As demand for self catering accommodation in the area is high, it is advisable to contact the local secretary soon if you wish to reserve a self catering place.
