An attempt to break the world-record for tree hugging took place on Sunday.
The national bid, which was undertaken to help promote the National Tree Collections of Scotland new “Tree Trail”, saw a number of sites across Courier Country participate, including Camperdown Park, Scone Palace and Dunkeld.
Organisers hoped to get 1000 people to take part to beat the current world record, held by the USA, of 950 tree huggers.
Early reports suggested that more than 140 people took part at Scone Palace, while 73 people were involved at Camperdown Park.
The final total and if the world record was broken will not be known until later on Monday.
One of those who took part was Shirley Forbes, who hugged a tree at Camperdown Park planted by her mother to mark the Queen Mother’s 80th birthday.
Tree Trail project officer Tom Christian said: “We’ve had a magnificent response from members of Scotland’s Tree Trail and, with representation in several of Scotland’s major cities, there is scope for us not only to set a new record but to make it a very high benchmark for others to beat.”
Dundee City Council depute environment convener Councillor Vari McDoanld welcomed the record attempt, saying: “It’s a great chance to set a World Record. We’re sure Dundee can step up to the mark and play its part in the attempt.”
