What is now Strontian Community Woodland was originally planted by the Riddell family in the early 1800’s. Soon after entering the woodland from the village a female twin-stemmed yew is found growing in a rather damp habitat. A girth measurement was recorded as 286 cm @ 80 cm, the highest available point below the bifurcation (SYTHI 2021).
