Three square tree surrounds, two in the small courtyard, one in the entry paved area, of open ironwork, incorporating lines suggesting tree roots. Each tree surround has four iron relief panels, one in the centre of each side, with symbols relating to each of the four Scottish trees (one over the wall). The panels represent fire and water, earth, air and sun, rain and space. The same four panels are repeated in different positions in each of the tree surrounds. The quadrant at the centre symbolises a slice through the tree trunk.
