Hangman's Tree

US$0.00

This old Ponderosa Pine tree was used as a gallows for the administration of justice more than 100 years ago, when the law in these parts was Sir Matthew Baillie Begbie. The bough that held the noose has since rotted off and the gnarled old pine was cut down but remains on site. There is a record that two thieves were hanged there and buried underneath, but legend has it that in all, eight lawbreakers swung from it. If you don't think the walk is worthy of the story, it is certainly worthy of the beautiful view.
