Where it is

Show on the map

Jedburgh, Scottish Borders

The position comes from a survey, so expect to be within a few metres rather than standing at the trunk.

Is this the one?

What to check when you get there.

  • It should be a sessile oak.
  • It's 10.5 m round the trunk, about 7 people holding hands round it. That's the easiest check there is.
  • People round here may know it as Capon Tree, and there's sometimes a sign.
  • The position came from a surveyor, so it can be a few metres out. If two big trees are close together, the girth usually settles it.
