Heritage Trees of Scotland

Lavishly illustrated, it celebrates 100 of Scotland's most special trees - the ancient, the tallest, the widest, the rarest, the weirdest, the loveliest and those with important historical and cultural associations.

"Heritage Trees of Scotland" is a companion volume to the Tree Council's "Great British Trees", published to commemorate the Queen's Golden Jubilee in 2002.

Heritage Trees of Britain and Northern Ireland

The exceptional trees photographed in this book stand as rare points of stability in an ever-changing world. Some of the oaks featured are the same age as medieval churches, while the oldest tree, the Fortingall Yew, is thought to be 5,000 years old - as old as Stonehenge and probably the oldest living thing in Europe. Each has a story to tell, passed down through the generations. They range from the original Bramley apple tree - still going strong in a private Nottinghamshire garden and today responsible for a £50 million apple industry - to the legendry Bleeding Yew growing in a Welsh churchyard.
