Summary
The Lady of Lawers predicted bloodshed when a certain tree grew high.
The Lady of Lawers planted a tree at Wade's bridge at Aberfeldy. She said that when it grew above the parapet of the bridge the land would flow with blood. The tree was kept trimmed until shortly before World War I, then it was neglected and grew above the parapet of the bridge. The war was believed to be the fulfilment of the prophecy.
