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 the second edition of Heritage Trees of Scotland now in its expanded hardback second edition. Many of the trees in it 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:
