\n Run by the National Trust for Scotland, the house and gardens, now a visitor attraction, were once home to the Dalrymple family.\n<\/p>\n
\n Claire Grant, the National Trust for Scotland’s operations manager for Newhailes House & Gardens, said: “We have removed some trees of concern from the estate as part of our ongoing woodland management.\n<\/p>\n
\n “This is always carefully planned and focuses on trees that are in danger of coming down.\n<\/p>\n
\n “We also cleared some self-seeded sycamore from around the area where the Centenary Garden will be built.\n<\/p>\n
\n \u201cWe found that we had more wood and wood chips than we needed, so felt it was a great opportunity to make them available to people in the community.\n<\/p>\n
\n “Any donations that people may want to make to our Centenary Garden would be very much appreciated.”\n<\/p>\n
\n The chip is mostly sycamore, with a small amount of yew in the mix.\n<\/p>\n
\n Newhailes is a Palladian house and a historically significant 17th-century estate that played a prominent role in the Scottish Enlightenment.\n<\/p>\n
\n Within the estate, there are 34 hectares of diverse landscape, from ancient woodlands to parklands.\n<\/p>\n
\n Newhailes also features one of the last surviving early 18th-century planned landscapes in Scotland, which will be the site for its Centenary Garden which will mark the National Trust for Scotland\u2019s 100th anniversary in 2031.\n<\/p>\n
