Rowan tree (or European Mountain Ash) (Sorbus aucuparia). In ancient times people in this part of the World planted a tuntre (farm yard tree) where the old farm owner was buried and made sacrifices to the tree. Farm owners have for nearly a thousand years been buried elsewhere, but the custom of planting this tree has persisted.
