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.

I checked some of the Indexes in my books, but nothing for Burnt Tree. Did find this Video on Youtube, you can just see Tesco:- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OWjzoY5QtAc

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