Lochwood Oaks


Lochwood Oaks, originally uploaded by dabi.

A small stand of ancient sessile oaks (Quercus petraea) lies close to Lochwood Tower, near Moffat, Dumfries & Galloway. These trees are the surviving remnants of a long-established oak forest dating back many centuries, and include individuals of great age and character.

This valuable population of veteran trees now supports an important range of wildlife and lichens.
