Pine Scotch Oil
Pine Scotch oil.....The Scotch Pine, also known as Scots Pine, is a hardy species of pine that is adaptable to nearly all climates. It’s native to Europe and Asia and is found from Ireland and Scotland and east to Eastern Siberian, to the Caucasus Mountains in the south and to the Arctic Circle in Scandinavia in the north. It’s a tall coniferous evergreen standing upright with an unbranched. Because of this it is highly valued as a source of wood for the mast of sailing ships. It’s also important for pulp and sawn lumber. It is also used in the US for Christmas trees and was one of the most popular trees in the 1950’s thru 1980’s. The tree is the national tree of Scotland where it once covered much of the Scottish Highlands. The decline in the once great forests is due to timber demand, over grazing by sheep and deer, fire, and deliberate cutting to deter wolves. Work is underway to replace forests there. The kernels were eaten by the Ancient Egyptians, who added them to bread, while the young tops were used by the American Indians to prevent scurvy.
