We are very excited to bring a SiMBA Tree of Tranquillity to Caithness and North Sutherland. We want to make this a special place for families to visit that is accessible for all.

The SiMBA Tree of Tranquillity is a stunning hand crafted, life sized copper sculpture which has been created in response to the needs of parents. The Tree design is unique to SiMBA, and each individual leaf can be engraved with a personal message to honour a baby. Its aim is to offer bereaved parents the opportunity to honour their baby in a simple and positive way that effectively grows as leaves are added.

The Tree of Tranquillity is not just for the newly bereaved but also parents who sadly lost their baby years ago and were perhaps provided with little or no recognition of their babys existence. The Tree provides the means to express a private and public declaration of the lost hopes and dreams that the family had for their baby. It is a beautiful symbol of remembrance and gives a great deal of comfort to those who visit.
