Yew trees are deeply rooted in Irish mythology and history, known for their longevity and often found in churchyards across Ireland. In Celtic folklore, yews symbolise immortality and rebirth. They are revered by the Druids as sacred trees and play a significant role in various myths and legends. The yew's durability and the rich, red hue of its wood make it a valuable material for crafting. The Fortingall Yew in Scotland, believed to be the oldest living thing in Europe, highlights the remarkable age these trees can reach, with some estimates up to 5,000 years.
