 Benmore Giant Sequoia Avenue - 1980 |
| Thanks to Iris for the above photograph taken in 1980 of the Sequoia Avenue at Benmore Botanic Garden. Benmore is set within the Loch Lomond & The Trossachs National Park and the Argyll Forest Park, seven miles north of Dunoon on the Cowal Peninsula. |

| Thanks to Tim for allowing us to use the above picture from a page about Benmore Botanic Garden on his web site about Giant Sequoias in Belgium and the Netherlands. |
 Benmore Giant Sequoia Avenue - July 2007 |
| Thanks also to Tam for his contributions to this page. He kindly explained the positioning of the trees. "From the visitor centre (which has a lovely cafe) there are 11 Sequoias before you reach the bridge over the river, 9 of which form the beginning of the avenue. Once over the bridge the avenue of Giant Sequoias stretch into the distance there are 40 of them on this side. No 21 along was planted in 1995 possibly as a replacement for a redwood trunk lying off to one side." |

| "At the end of the avenue veering of to the path on the left takes you to a large house, which I believe is a training centre for botany students. The area in front of the house is a lawn with a few sequoias. There is another large one along one of the many paths standing on its own (single sequoia photo) and another two just outside the perimeter fence." | ||

| "Notice the knobs (sequoia cones?) on the bridge in the picture showing the bridge over to the avenue. The picture of a Dawn Redwood in the grounds of Benmore Botanic Garden shows the only one of its type I could see." | ||
