The Suffragette Oak, Hungarian oak tree in Kelvingrove Park, Scotland.
Standing in Kelvingrove Park, the large oak tree reaches toward the sky with branches spreading wide across the green space near Glasgow University.
Women's suffrage organizations planted this oak on April 20, 1918, marking the achievement of voting rights for women over 30 under the Representation Act.
The oak received recognition as Scotland's Tree of the Year in 2015, nominated by Glasgow Women's Library for its connection to women's rights history.
Visitors can find the oak behind Glasgow University, with a commemorative plaque installed in 1995 explaining its connection to the suffrage movement.
Wood segments from the tree, damaged during Storm Ophelia in 2017, were transformed into earrings and trinket boxes by local artists for fundraising.
