SCOTLAND, JUL 09 – Following the illegal felling of the Sycamore Gap tree, the Kissing Trees have become a cherished landmark attracting walkers and cyclists along National Cycle Route 76.
- The biggest preserved piece of the Sycamore Gap tree was unveiled today for permanent public viewing at The Sill near Hadrian's Wall in Northumberland.
- This follows the tree’s illegal felling overnight on September 28, 2023, which sparked global condemnation and grief beyond Northumberland.
- The exhibit features the upright trunk surrounded by handcrafted oak benches and a canopy shaped like a sycamore leaf, incorporating messages gathered through public consultation.
- Artist Charlie Whinney called the commission "the biggest honour of my career" and hopes the work helps people process the loss still felt from that day in September 2023.
- Two individuals convicted of damaging the tree are scheduled to receive their sentences on July 15, and the artwork serves as a symbol of the community’s enduring bond with the landmark and the natural environment.
