8. Fortingall Yew
The Fortingall Yew is said to be the oldest living thing in Europe, dating back between 3,000 and 9,000 years, depending on whose evidence you are taking. Growing at the start of beautiful Glen Lyon, it is worth a day trip to see. Afterwards, head for Kenmore and enjoy views of Loch Tay. Photo: Shutterstock
