The Fortingall Yew Tree


On the left in the Fortingall Yew tree, at possibly 5000 years old, it is probably the oldest living organism in Europe. On the right is Fortingall Church. The Yew tree signifies that this site will have had a spiritual connection for the past 5000 years, if indeed that is how old the tree is.
