Anyone on the hunt for a scenic and peaceful destination in Scotland should check out Fortingall, which is home to a tree that could be the 'oldest living thing on Earth'.
If you are looking for a Scottish day-trip destination that is as unique as it is beautiful, then Fortingall could be perfect.
The church itself isn't even Fortingall's most historic attraction, however. That honour belongs to the Fortingall Yew, an ancient tree situated in its own walled enclosure within the churchyard. Although the trunk of the tree was once measured at a massive 16 metres in 1769, it has shrunk significantly in the centuries since. However, it remains healthy and it is thought that it will continue to grow for the foreseeable future.
