Meikleour Beech Hedges

Meikleour Beech Hedges is a living boundary made of European Beech trees running parallel to the A93 road in this Scottish region. The plants form a continuous green wall that shapes the local landscape.

This hedge was planted in 1745, connecting it to a turning point in Scottish history. The planting has endured for centuries and continues to shape the landscape.

The hedge represents a connection to Scottish history, as local workers who assisted in planting left their tools beneath it before joining the Jacobite Rebellion.

The hedge is visible from the A93 road and easy to access during travel through the region. The best view comes from stopping along the roadside to see its full length and height.

This hedge holds a place in international records as one of the most remarkable natural structures, drawing visitors interested in extraordinary agricultural achievements. Its endurance and scale make it a rare example of a landscape feature maintained for centuries.
