While staying in a quaint cottage in the town of Dunkeld, my wife and I took a leisurely walk along the river Tay to the village of Birnam. Along the way, we did not see Peter Rabbit, but we did spy the infamous Birnham Oak of the Bard's tragedy, Macbeth. It is a beautiful specimen, larger than any other in the area. It was hollowed from ground level to around ten feet high and it was easily identified, as it stands out among its much younger siblings. Upon viewing the Birnham Oak, it was easy to imagine a medieval forest of grand Oaks and Sycamores masking a surreptitious approach of an English army enroute to sack Dunsinane. Good Journeys!
