After guided tours of the garden and its Champion Trees, led by Tom Christian and Garden Curator, David Knott, guests enjoyed a drinks reception in the Visitor Centre and bidding at the Silent Auction for a collection of fine specimens of rare and unusual trees. As the hammer went down on the auction, we moved to the Lecture Theatre, where John Grimshaw, the curator of the arboretum at Castle Howard, gave a stimulating and extremely interesting lecture on “New Trees”. We are very grateful to Tom and David for their help in organising the event, to John for the lecture, and to The National Tree Collections of Scotland and the Royal Botanic Gardens for hosting the day. We are also very grateful to Maurice Foster and all who donated plants for the auction. New Discoveries Owen Johnson and our tree hunters, continue to explore all corners of the British Isles discovering new champions and species that one would not expect to thrive in our climate and David Alderman leads our partnership with the Woodland Trust, working with their tree volunteers, finding more and more ancient and veteran trees to add to the database.

View from Dundee Law. ©Lorne Gill/NatureScot Farmland and the River Earn ©Lorne Gill/NatureScot This document provides information on how the landscape of the local authority area has evolved. It complements the Landscape Character Type descriptions of the 2019 dataset. The original character assessment reports, part of a series of 30, mostly for a local authority area, included a “Background Chapter” on the formation of the landscape. These documents have been revised because feedback said they are useful, despite the fact that other sources of information are now readily available on the internet, unlike in the 1990’s when the first versions were produced. The content of the chapters varied considerably between the reports, and it has been restructured into a more standard format: Introduction, Physical Influences and Human Influences for all areas; and Cultural Influences sections for the majority. Some content variation still remains as the documents have been revised rather than rewritten, The information has been updated with input from the relevant Local Authorities. The historic and cultural aspects have been reviewed and updated by Historic Environment Scotland. Gaps in information have been filled where possible.
