I'm so accustomed to seeing Scots Pines either as stunted specimens trying to survive on an exposed moor, or planted close together to force them to grow tall, straight and thin for timber, that it comes as a pleasant shock to see some which have grown in a more benign spot with enough room to branch out into their natural bushy shape.
