"Unfortunately, we had to say farewell to our iconic Monkey Puzzle Tree that has stood over 100 years watching over Saint Eunan's and the generations of students who have walked through the doors," St Eunan's posted. "These photos follow it from its planting to today. Éowyn claimed the tree on Friday evening."
