During the greater part of last century Drumlan-

 all cut by the late Duke of Queensberry, and therefore

 its old and beautiful trees, except a few in the gardens 

 and policy, which consist of beech, lime, chestnut, elm, 

 and a few oaks. 



Mr. Eobert M'Cutcheon, Whittinghame, says : " I 

 cannot say we have any specially notable trees here ; 

 our largest ones are from 65 to 70 feet high, and girth 

 at 5 feet from the ground from 7 to 9 feet. They are, 

 however, quite sound, and of fine quality."
