The Kissing Tree

At the summit of the Fereneze Braes, there was an old thorn, well known locally as "The Kissing Tree". The story goes that if a young man could drive a nail fully into the thorn tree he would be entitled to "ae fond kiss" on the spot from his sweetheart. Success in the task was considered proof of his suitability as a good suitor for the young lady. The original tree came down in 1860, replaced with the current tree in 1910. I only found out about this location a few days, and learned about the associated legend this morning. Stunning views over Renfrewshire, East Renfrewshire, towards the highlands and beyond.
