The Pollok Beech (Wishing Tree)
I think this is the first outing this year for the camera 
We took a trip to Pollok Park this morning to find the wishing tree/clootie tree 
You tie a ribbon to its branches and make a wish.
The tree is thought to be about 250 years old.
Its a bit dark but I can't get it lightened anymore without the sky glowing
and some ribbons attached to the tree.
