Dunkeld's Lady's Tree Crowned Scotland's Favourite
The motion
That the Parliament recognises the Lady’s Tree in Dunkeld on being crowned Scotland’s favourite tree and hopes that the 100-year-old Scots pine can take the title at the European Tree of the Year Contest in February 2015; notes that the tree was nominated by the Scottish Wildlife Trust, which operates the Loch of the Lowes reserve; understands that the tree is home to an osprey, affectionately known as the Lady, which has laid an astonishing 71 eggs and fledged 50 chicks in the 24 years that it has nested in the tree; understands that the Lady Tree is a symbol of the conservation success story in the reserve, and notes that the Scottish Tree of the Year competition is organised by the Woodland Trust and is supported by the People’s Postcode Lottery.
