A 16-year-old boy was arrested Thursday on suspicion of criminal damage after one of Britain's most famous trees, a sycamore that stood in a dip in Hadrian's Wall, was cut down overnight in what the authorities described as an act of vandalism.
Voted Tree of the Year in 2016 in the Woodland Trust awards, the Sycamore Gap tree, located about 100 miles southeast of Edinburgh, was several hundred years old and was featured in the 1991 film Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves, starring Kevin Costner and Morgan Freeman.
