Not as beautiful as in Scotland...

... but still very nice.

Pinus sylvestris. About a dozen of them planted at the edge of a parking lot, in Belgium (right after the border, only 6 miles away from here).

They're quite unusual in my region, the common pine used in landscapes and city plantings being Pinus nigra. I find Scots Pines much more elegant and graceful. Wonder how old these can be...
