Picture of a tree growing sideways on a hillside before growing upwardsAn interesting tree we spotted on the Isle of Jura on our Islay walking week excursion to the Corryvreckan, I think this was somewhere near Barnhill. Not sure if this was due to a landslip or if it started out this way, but this tree seems to have grown sideways before righting itself to grow upwards.
