Sticta limbata in Fife

On Saturday (1 Feb) I found what I thought was Pseudocyphellaria norvegica on a  horizontal tree branch in the Cullaloe Hills. Turned out that it is actually the closely-related Sticta limbata (Pseudocyphellaria  used to be in Sticta), for which the only previous Fife record is mentioned in Greville's "Flora Edinensis" from 1824! The site mentioned there is Balmuto, which isn't so very far away from the Cullaloe Hills.
