Meikleour Beech Hedges : ウィキペディア英語版 | Meikleour Beech Hedges The Meikleour Beech Hedge(s) (European Beech = ''Fagus sylvatica''), located near Meikleour, Perth and Kinross, Scotland, alongside the A93 Perth-Blairgowrie Road, was planted in the autumn of 1745 by Jean Mercer and her husband, Robert Murray Nairne on the Marquess of Lansdowne's Meikleour estate. It is said the hedge grows towards the heavens because the men who planted it were killed at the Battle of Culloden. The hedge is noted in the Guinness World Records as the tallest and longest hedge on earth, reaching 30 metres (100 ft) in height and 530 metres (1/3 mile) in length. The hedge is trimmed once every ten years, and can be viewed by visitors all year round. == See also ==
