  • Symbol voting keep.svg Article is new, long enough, no copyvio concerns, hook is interesting and cited to a reliable offline source. My only other comment is that this source (not used in the article) calls it "Bruce's Tree". Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 11:15, 26 October 2019 (UTC)
Hi Ritchie333, thanks for the review. The tree mentioned in that article is the King's Tree, a 2,000 year-old yew at Loch Lomond (which probably deserves its own article) - Dumelow (talk) 12:36, 26 October 2019 (UTC)
