The Rowan Tree

Also known as the Mountain Ash and in folklore it was thought to be a magical tree, protecting you against malevolent beings. It was sacred to the Celtic Druids and to the Scots. When the Vikings invaded Scotland, they used the wood to make Runes which were worn as amulets for protection from Sorcery and the Evil Eye.  There are two of these trees in our garden so  hopefully, we are well protected !
