A named, long-standing tree carried in local memory as a landmark — included for its place in the landscape, with age and superlative claims held for verified sourcing.
A tree still standing under its own remembered name, Eppie Callum’s Oak, gives its identity to this record ahead of the fuller history.
What follows is drawn from published sources, with each claim labelled by how firmly it is established.
What to look for
-
A living tree: admire it without climbing, scarring the bark or compacting the ground around the roots.
What is said
Folklore and tradition, recorded as what is said — not as established fact.
-
No single written record fixes when the oak was named, or by whom — the story is kept alive locally, and this page treats it as remembered tradition rather than documented fact.
