Please could someone tell me the name of this plant. It was over 5ft tall and situated on the shores of Loch Etive.  |

Hi catsalsus, when was the photo taken?
It looks like a variety of inula, possibly Elecampagne (Inula helenium) |

My first thought was also elecampane - but that should be well over by now? Quote:

I also think it is Elecampane (Inula helenium) - there is also a very similar plant called Yellow Oxeye (Telekia speciosa) which has heart-shaped bases to its lowest leaves, but I think your plant is the former. |

I would also say Inula helenium- a handsome plant. Only place I've seen it growing wild in UK was near Kingcome, Dorset. |

It was growing near to Ardchattan Priory, so maybe it escaped from their herb garden. | | |
