Heritage Trees of Scotland

Text by Donald Rodger, Jon Stokes (Tree Council) and James Ogilvie (Forestry Commission Scotland) with photography by Archie Miles and Edward Parker. Published by Forestry Commission Scotland in association with The Tree Council and Scottish Natural Heritage.

First published in 2003, this is a 160 page, softback, A5 format book featuring 100 of the most exceptional Heritage Trees of Scotland. Many of the trees were originally nominated by members of the public as part of the Treefest Scotland 2002 programme co-ordinated by the Forestry Commission. A panel of experts selected these 100 from an extremely long list of candidates. There were a variety of reasons for their inclusion, ranging from national champion specimens, their place in history or legend, associations with royalty, meeting trees, preaching tree, sites of trial and execution, rarity and veteran status.

The book is now out of print, but I have a very limited quantity available. Cover price is £9.99, but I can offer these at £7.50 inclusive of post and packing.

Heritage Trees of Scotland

After the phenominal success of the smaller softback edition of this book from 2003, the Forestry Commission asked the same team to reconvene in 2005/6 to produce an updated and enlarged edition of the book. In October 2006 the second edition, now a 256 page, hardback book, in crown quarto format (189 x 246 mm) and with an additional 34 trees was published. Many of the original 100 trees were also updated both in the text and with many new photographs. A new illustrated introduction was included and the book was also broken down into regions, each with its own introduction.
