The SCOT2K project has extended native pine tree-ring chronology coverage for Scotland to enable reconstruction of past climate and for cultural heritage dating benefits. Using living trees from multiple locations in the Highlands and sub-fossil material from lochs, a network of five regional chronologies has been produced. The project has developed the application of Blue Intensity (BI), a proxy measure for maximum latewood density, which is faster and less costly to obtain than traditional densitometry measurements. The use of both ring-width and BI has been demonstrated to greatly assist historical dendro-dating of pine. This paper presents the dating results for the twenty Scottish pine buildings or sites dendro-dated through the SCOT2K project. They range from the fifteenth to the nineteenth centuries, and from high-status castles to modest cruck cottages. They are mostly located in the Highlands where Scots pine occurs naturally, although an early example of long-distance transport is also identified.

来自苏格兰的树木年代学确定的松树建筑：SCOT2K 原生松树年代学项目

SCOT2K 项目扩大了苏格兰本地松树年轮年表的覆盖范围，以实现过去气候的重建和文化遗产测年效益。使用来自高地多个地点的活树和来自湖泊的亚化石材料，已经产生了五个区域年表的网络。该项目开发了蓝色强度 (BI) 的应用，它是最大晚材密度的替代测量方法，与传统的密度测量方法相比，获得速度更快、成本更低。环宽和 BI 的使用已被证明可以极大地帮助松树的历史树状定年。本文介绍了通过 SCOT2K 项目进行树冠测年的 20 座苏格兰松树建筑或遗址的测年结果。它们的范围从十五世纪到十九世纪，从高级城堡到简陋的小屋。它们大多位于苏格兰松自然生长的高地，尽管也发现了早期长途运输的例子。
