Excellent .... thanks so much for your help.
Your first instinct seems to have been right then.
Now for the jam then.
Wonder how long the trees have been there ? Two theories -
First Theory, They are on the old site of a Royal orchard as the trees sit on the far side of a loch near to the palace birthplace of Mary Queen of Scots. So hundreds of years (yeah right)
Second theory, someone has thrown away some plums whilst walking round the said loch
I prefer the first explanation.
Best regards,
