The Lone Pine
From £32.00
A wind-shaped Scots pine stands alone on a hilltop, backlit against a broken sky, with a patchwork of fields and forestry rolling away into the valley below.

A single tree left standing in open, exposed ground is almost always deliberate - a boundary marker, a windbreak, or simply too awkward to remove - and that isolation is exactly what shapes its wind-bent form over the decades. Scots pine, the species most often left to stand alone like this in the Northumberland uplands, can live for several hundred years.
