In Dundee these was a tree with great bark, it peels off like sheets of paper. Underneath it was beige, clean and fresh, above it was white and dusty. It is clearly closely related to the Cherry Bark tree Prunus serrula except that Prunus serrula is shint red bark - you may have seen it around as it is a common ornamental.
On the other hand at Balmoral I saw a couple of trees with bark which was almost the opposite of the Prunus - these were evergreens with deeply scarred bark. Don't ask me why I'm putting these pictures up today or why I don't know anything about the trees themselv - sometimes it is just nice to look at a pretty picture.
