Scotland’s native oak tree-ring record is geographically and chronologically patchy. The South East Scotland Oak Dendrochronology (SESOD) project aimed to address the gap in a region previously dominated by data from imported timber, largely in Edinburgh buildings. Reference data for the main import sources in Scandinavia and the eastern Baltic are far more comprehensive, making it easier to identify and date imported timber and putting any native timber at risk of not being recognised. The SESOD study area was defined as the Scottish Borders, the Lothians and the City of Edinburgh and the focus was on the last millennium, especially sites before ad 1700 to extend the record back from data obtained from the Dalkeith Old Oaks. SESOD was inspired by work undertaken in south-west Scotland by Mike Baillie (1977, 1982) where data from just six native oak sites created a millennium-long regional reference chronology. Extensive desk-based research and assessment visits for SESOD identified how rare any surviving historic oak structures are outside of Edinburgh and created a shortlist of candidate sites to be sampled and analysed. This represented a sample of the region’s built heritage rather than a comprehensive search of every structure. The results reveal a very different picture to south-west Scotland, with surviving native oak timber being rare and the trees used being shorter-lived. Even after analysis of some 14 sites for SESOD, the native oak record for the last millennium in south-east Scotland remains discontinuous, due to regional impacts on the built heritage and the environment. The individual site results have revealed new and sometimes surprising dates and timber provenances, allowing the biographies of the structures to be enriched. The outcomes highlight the importance of conserving and studying any further historic oak timber assemblages found in this region, and indeed across Scotland.
