A VARIETY of hawthorn tree has been planted at the heart of Haddington to mark the coronation of King Charles III.

Roderick Urquhart, Lord Lieutenant for East Lothian, was joined by his predecessor Michael Williams MBE, chairman of Haddington Garden Trust, to plant the special hawthorn tree in St Mary’s Pleasance Garden.

The wet, early summer planting ceremony was also attended by the Haddington Garden Trustees and some locals.

You can visit the gardens on Sidegate in Haddington from 9am to 5pm (Feb to Oct) and 9am to 3.30pm (Nov to Jan).
