Champfleurie House
Champfleurie gets its name from the French meaning "flowery field" and comes from the time when Mary Queen of Scots and her French speaking ladies would ride out into this part of the countryside from nearby Linlithgow Palace

Ash Regeneration
There's a mature ash above my head, and a couple of self-seeded saplings by the wall. Why on earth was it thought necessary, desirable or appropriate to import ash saplings from Europe, when they grow so readily here?
