Of course, all was not natural beauty in those days - scattered among the plants and overgrown stonework were burnt out cars, and we regularly had to call the fire brigade to extinguish the pyromaniac desires of certain local youths. There may be little woodland left now, but there would be even less and probably no Craigend Yew if we hadn't rung the fire brigade on what was sometimes a daily basis at one time.
