Last Ent of Affric, Heritage elm tree in Glen Affric, Scotland.
The Last Ent of Affric stands with a girth of 3.80 meters on rocky terrain in the secluded Gleann na Cìche area of Glen Affric.
Staff from Forestry and Land Scotland and Trees for Life discovered this ancient wych elm during their 2012 site inspection of the Highland region.
The tree received its name from Tolkien's tree-creatures after Giles Brockman from Forestry and Land Scotland noticed its face-like features in the bark.
Reaching the Last Ent requires walking 11 kilometers from the nearest road or taking an 8-kilometer route with a climb through a Munro.
The remote location protected this elm from Dutch elm disease, making it a rare survivor of its species in the Scottish Highlands.
