A tree planted in the pleasure ground at Cloverley by the late Mr. W. E. 
Gladstone in 1872, now measures 56 by 84 feet; another planted Jan. 1, 1864, is 
now 65 by 11 feet. 
In Scotland, the Wellingtonia has not attained as great a height as in England, 
but seems to grow well in many places. The finest I have seen is at Murthly, 
planted in 1857; this in 1891 measured 66% feet by 9 feet 3 inches, and when | 
measured it in September 1906, had increased to 86 feet by 12 feet 5 inches. 
There is one at Castle Menzies which Hunter says was planted out of a pot in 1858, 
when it cost three guineas, and in 1883 measured 44 feet by 9 feet 3 inches. This 
has not grown much taller, though it had attained the immense girth of 21 feet 
when I last saw it in 1907. At Smeaton-Hepburn, East Lothian, a tree, planted in 
1855, was measured in 1905 by Henry as 78 feet by 12 feet g inches. At Keir, 
Perthshire, there are several trees, the tallest of which measured, in the same year, 
71 feet by 9 feet. At Haddo House, Aberdeenshire, a tree planted in 1857 and 
reported ' to be 50 feet by 8 feet 4 inches in 1891, was, in 1904, 68 feet by 11 feet. 
The largest trees, reported’ by Renwick and M‘Kay, are one at Buchanan 
Castle, Stirlingshire, which was 71 feet high by 9 feet 3 inches in girth in 1900,
