It's a mistranscription; There used to be a stream there with a Scottish family living by the name of McTree living nearby, so actually it's the Burn where the Trees lived: Burn Tree. :grin:
Currently investigating the Hillmans of Sussex.

Went to Tesco today and it's absolutely HUGE. Plenty of car parking spaces and lots of room between the aisles - Love it.
