A tree has been planted in honour of the late Sir Malcolm Ross, former Lord Lieutenant of the Stewartry.
And fittingly, the golden weeping cedar is close to a birch that was planted at Threave Garden by King Charles III and Queen Consort Camilla in 2006.
That was the couple’s first ever visit and also the first official duty for Sir Malcolm as Lord Lieutenant, a role he held for 12 years until he retired in 2018.
