Description of the Location of the Speyside Royal Oak: The Speyside Royal Oak stands adjacent to the south west corner of the gymnasium of the former Speyside Public School which is located at the 11445 Highway 25, on lands legally described as Part of the West Half of Lot 18, Concession 3 (former Township of Esquesing) and shown as Part 1 on Plan 20R-15522. Statement of Cultural Heritage Value or Interest: The Speyside Royal Oak has a direct association with the residents of this area because it originates from an acorn from the Royal Park at Windsor and was planted by area students in 1937 to commemorate the coronation of His Majesty King George VI.
