The tree, which has been covered in baubles and tinsel, is located near to Penninghame in Dumfries and Galloway. According to photographer Jackie Wallace-Riddle, it is "decorated by an unknown local each year".

She wrote: "Seen near Challoch. I was told by a local that the tree is decorated each year by a mystery person."
