spirit of the dule tree

Dule trees were commonly used as sites of public execution until as late as the mid-18th century — but some believe that there may be an older tradition where originally the trees were a gathering place for people to gather to mourn lost family and friends. (I think that’s probably just the Victorian romanticisation speaking personally but I’m not a historian.)

The name ‘dule’ is taken from the old scots word meaning ‘grief’ or lamentation. One of the most well known trees is a sycamore found on the Aberdeenshire estate of Leith Hall. I read a tiny article about it at work and couldn’t stop thinking about it.
