Meikleour Beech Hedge, Perthshire, Scotland. Standing alongside the A93 Perth to Blairgowrie road, this hedge was planted in 1746 on the Marquess of Lansdowne's estate by Jean Mercer and Robert Murray Nairne to commemorate local Highlanders killed at the Battle of Culloden. According to the Guiness Book of Records it is the tallest and longest hedge on Earth, reaching a height of 100 feet and 1/3 of a mile in length.
