Very beautiful and mysterious. The trees were planted by James Stuart, a preacher’s son who was born nearby in 1743. He planted the trees along the drive to his new mansion as an impressive landscape feature. He named the mansion Gracehill House after his beloved wife Grace, The place is said to be haunted by the gray lady. I waited and I waited but she never appeared!
