Old even then

Fortingall is a bonny wee village, which I drive through from time to time on my way from home to Inverness as it is on the  "short cut" from Loch Tay to the A9 at Dalnacardoch, though that route is best avoided in winter as signs at both ends of the most elevated part make it clear it is neither gritted nor snow cleared then.   

Fortingall is at a more temperate height, and I  have stopped once to see the Fortingall Yew, certainly the oldest living thing in Scotland and most probably in Europe too.

 It has been there for at least 5000 years - long enough to have been already old when , as legend has it, Pontius Pilate was born in the village.
