Logo for Meetings with Remarkable Trees - Series 2 - The Meikleour Beech Hedge

Series telling the stories behind significant trees. Running parallel to a busy A-road in Scotland stands a wall of beech trees, around three-quarters-of-a-mile long and 120ft high. How did it become the biggest beech hedge in the world, and what is its link with Bonnie Prince Charlie? The programme explores this arboricultural phenomenon through the eyes of the local community.
