Good to know, thanks! I did mention it was a lamiaceae, and it does have a square stem.
I thought stems looked ridged rather than square....Quote wiki...."The square stems have small hairs with sessile glands" You did say it was Lamiaceae......but then you also said it was Ajuga reptans!
@Silver Surfer. I've wanted to go to that nursery for some time as it's not far from me.
Goodness you must go.....she grows wonderful very healthy plant at reasonable prices. A lovely lady. Her nursery is near Kirkcudbright in Dumfries and Galloway. She also does mail order for those who live further afield.
Thank you , Silver Surfer for keeping us updated. So many get the answer from somewhere else but keep it to themselves.
I spoke to the owner in Glen Prosen this morning after sending him my pics by snail mail..( He hasn't got a computer) he thought it was Haberlea rhodopensis. We used to grow that and I knew it was very different.
After Maggie at SRGC came up trumps.... I spoke to owner who was delighted to get the name. He now has one set aside with my name on for me to collect ..I will let him over winter it up this long, high, stunningly beautiful, Scottish Glen. We can always learn something new...knowledge should always be shared. I have learnt a new plant today.....now the thing is ...can I remember that name????? Errr!?

Horminum pyrenaicum var. alboviolaceus
Is definitely rather special very different from the normal dark purple.
