A woodland walk near Edinburgh leads locals to a tree that could soon be crowned the UK's Tree of the Year.
A shortlist of 12 trees has been compiled for the annual contest run by the Woodland Trust from the charity's "hall of fame" for very old and important trees, the Ancient Tree Inventory (ATI).
A panel of experts picked their favourites from hundreds of ancient and veteran trees, described as "cathedrals of nature", which have been recorded by volunteers since the pandemic began.
