The “ Dalwick Oaks” grow on the south bank of the Tweed

8 inches at 5 feet, a bole of 35 feet, and a total height of 80 feet.

35 feet, and a total height of 57 feet. No. 3 is near the bowling-

An oak in the low ground of the Home Park of Stobo Castle, 
Peebleshire, girths 11 feet 8 inches at 1 foot up, 9 feet 4 inches at 
5 feet up, with a bole of 35 feet. 
The ‘ Barjarg Oak,” in Nithsdale, is a remarkably fine tree. 
It has a girth of 17 feet above the roots, 11 feet 11 inches at 
16 feet up, 11 feet 9 inches at 32 feet up, and 6 feet 8 inches 
at 46 feet up. 
The ‘“ Lochwood Oaks,” in Annandale, Dumfriesshire, have a 
circumference of 20 feet and 18 feet 10 inches respectively at 
) feet up. 
It now only remains to be said, that in compiling the foregoing 
record of the oaks in England and Scotland, it is to be noticed 
that none in the latter country are returned as hollow, or to have 
been pollarded. Now it is fair to suppose that the operation of 
pollarding accounts for the larger girth of some at least of the 
English trees, and also for their being hollow.
