Great horsetail ferns http://www.habitas.org.uk/flora/species.asp?item=2025 and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equisetum were common, plentiful and abundant along most of the southern half of the Blackhead path and (to a lesser extent) in the verge along McCrea’s Brae. The difficulty was in picking a suitable example. This is at the edge of the square below the shelter.
