## Resource

Two Scottish trees are battling it out for Tree of the Year—both survivors of lightning, hurricanes, and disease. One’s a scarred oak in Dumfries that took a bolt centuries ago, the other’s a giant ash in Balloch that’s weathered storms, history, and ash dieback. The Earlstoun Lightning Oak even hid an outlaw in the 1600s and was mapped in the 1850s. Public voting opens Wednesday—vote for the tree that’s stood against all odds and could represent the UK in Europe. These ancient giants aren’t just trees—they’re living legends of resilience.
