The Gore Glen Tree

This is no made up name, this is a tree in Gore Glen in the Scottish Lowland's. It's one of those old creepy trees you'd expect to find in a horror movie. When I was young I was told the River Gore is named that because it turns red every few years and that it's the blood of all the Scottish warriors who fought on the fields. I don't know if that's why it's called Gorebridge and I doubt that's why the river turns red, probably more to do with high iron content in the ground, but who cares the stories good.
