Description

Scots pines are large, evergreen trees, which are native to the United Kingdom.^[4] Lady's Tree is 60 feet (18 m) tall and around 100 years old.^[5][2] It takes its name from the Loch of the Lowe's famous osprey, known as 'Lady'.^[6] Lady was one of the world's oldest known breeding osprey and made an important contribution to the conservation of her species, laying 71 eggs and raising 50 chicks over her time in Lady's Tree.^[5][7] 2014, the year Lady's Tree won Scotland's Tree of the Year, was Lady's last year in the tree.^[4]
