Heritage Trees of Scotland

 

Every country has its heritage trees - old trees, wide trees, tall trees, rare trees, "weird and wonderful" trees, and trees with historical and cultural significance.  Scotland is blessed with an unusually rich heritage of such trees: perhaps the richest in the world.

More than 130 of Scotland's most remarkable trees are stunningly presented in Heritage Trees of Scotland.  This hardback second edition updates and expands the first, softback edition published in 2003.  Many of the trees were brought to the authors' attention by members of the public who read the first edition.

We've provided some sample pages here to give a flavour of the diversity and fascinating histories of the trees listed in the book. These are listed in alphabetical order:

• Trees A - B
• Trees C - D
• Trees E - J
• Trees K - Q
• Trees R - Z
