The City of Edinburgh Council has compiled a list of its ‘Heritage Trees’, trees identified, after lengthy research and public consultation, as notable and exceptional for reasons of great age, size or historical or cultural significance.

If you are interested in finding out more about trees and woodlands and the various bodies and organisations who work to manage and preserve our ancient and invaluable heritage, check out our links page. We have also listed the titles of some good books to help you get to know your trees and to be able to identify them.
