The Fortingall Yew Tree, located in the village of Fortingall in Scotland, is one of the oldest trees in Britain, estimated to be around 5,000 years old. This ancient European yew has a massive trunk that was once 52 feet in girth and is split into several stems. Despite its age, the tree is still healthy and protected by a low wall. Legend has it that Pontius Pilate was born in its shade, adding a touch of mystery to this remarkable natural wonder.
