Heritage Trees of Scotland

More about the book

Every country has its heritage trees old trees, wide trees, tall 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. Just how rich was revealed in 2002, when Forestry Commission Scotland sponsored a Heritage Trees promotion on the internet. The public responded enthusiastically, so that an initial core of remarkable trees recorded by arboriculturalist Donald Rodger quickly grew to more than 100 as people suggested others.
