The oak, by then around 280 years old, would have seen the beacon which lit up the night sky above Ben Nevis to mark the Queen’s Coronation in 1953.
The additional public holiday is to commemorate the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee and 70 years on the throne in line with UK Government arrangements.
National organisers of next year’s Platinum Jubilee are encouraging a Canopy of Trees as the overall project across Britain. How people go about it, is left to each area – Oban Community Council heard at its last Zoom meeting.
