Hi all just joined the group and hoping someone might be able to help me with some information on some lost/rare Scottish Heritage Apples I'm trying to gather information on. I've been researching Scottish Heritage Apples and come across the following names below and do have some information on some but on others have found nothing other than the names listed in books. I've heard some people believing these could be hidden away in an orchard or garden somewhere so if anyone comes across any labels with this it would be appreciated.
Has anyone else gone searching for any lost Heritage Apples on the forum?
Here is the list I've gathered below while looking through old books and the occasional site.
