摘要

We celebrate the decision to make the Scots pine the national tree. No tree is more redolent of the Highlands or more lovely in its manner of growing in the glens. Yet there is an irony in the choice, as Pinus sylvestris (despite our name for it) is one of the most widely distributed trees on the globe, with a natural range that stretches across the northern hemisphere from China to Spain, and as far south as Turkey. Scotland is at the north-western extremity of its range, where it is more sensitiveto climate change than most of our other native trees, and its range in our countryside has ebbed and flowed over millennia. If the choice is intended to illustrate gnarled and tough Scottish distinctiveness it is a poor one. If it was intended to show how to adapt and cling on in the face of adversity, it is quite a good one.
