Delighted to be invited to write this guest blog for Historic Environment Scotland.

Celebrating ! 🌲

We’re marking the day by highlighting six incredible tree‑ring (dendrochronology) discoveries from across Scotland.

In a brand‑new blog, Dr Coralie Mills, dendrochronologist and founder of Dendrochronicle, shares some of the most fascinating findings of her career - from medieval church roofs to long‑lost shipwrecks uncovered by winter storms.

These tiny tree rings have helped reveal hidden histories, rewrite timelines, and uncover stories from Scotland’s forests, buildings and coastlines.

Curious to see what the trees had to tell us? 🌳

This has been such a joy to work on with Borders Forest Trust

🌳 Dairy Wood: A Living Archive of Scotland’s Woodland Past 🌳

We are delighted that our work at Dairy Wood has just been featured as a showcase article by the Royal Scottish Forestry Society! This rare, historic wood pasture near Moffat - now part of our Ericstane North site - is revealing its story through dendrochronology, ecological surveys and historic mapping. Dairy Wood is a home for wildlife such as barn owls, redstarts, nuthatches and jays, with veteran trees, wooded cleuchs, and even the ghost of a lost township!

This collaborative project - with Coralie Mills of Dendrochronicle and our own Nicola Hunt and Catriona Patience - is helping us preserve and enrich Dairy Wood’s ecological and cultural heritage.

The article is now freely available for anyone to read! 💚
Access it here:https://www.rsfs.org.uk/documents/showcase/v79e01-2025-mills.pdf

Our sincere thanks to the funders of this project: Future Woodlands Scotland, , Destination Tweed UK, and The Woodland Trust. 💚
