Binning Memorial Woodland, Tyninghame, East Lothian

 

Regional Winner

in

The People's Awards for the Best Natural Burial Ground in the UK 2016 and runner up in 2021 and 2022.

 

Binning Memorial Woodland is set amongst the Historic Binning Wood in East Lothian. First planted in the 1860's and felled after Wartime, it was replanted in the 50's and 60's. A beech stand of around 40 years’ maturity provides the gloriously salubrious and peaceful setting for the burial ground.

Loved by locals the wood offers a tranquil setting for the bereaved to reflect and remember.

Unlike most Green Burial sites Binning offers a resting place amongst an established woodland, managed from planting to produce tall straight branch-free stems. Silvicultural thinning programmes during the last 20 years have opened up the stand to increase crown and stem diameters. This has given the wood’s canopy an almost Cathedral style shape and feeling.
