Hunter Cutting on 31 May 10Caledonian Mercury: "Tree mallow is native to the south coast of England and was brought to the Bass Rock by ships in the 17th century. It gradually spread to the other islands of the Forth - reaching Craigleith in the 1950s and Fidra in the 1990s - but it was not extensive until the warmer climate of recent years encouraged its growth."
