Angsana Trees along Macalister Road
Old and big Angsana trees provide much needed shade to the road users of Macalister Road in Penang. The Angsana trees were said to be planted along this western section of Macalister Road by Charles Curtis, once the curator of the Penang Botanic Gardens in the late 19th century. Macalister Road is also one of the major and longest roads on Penang island.
Scotland Road is a major road which connects the Ayer Itam as well as Green Lane area to the Western Road (Jalan Utama). It also passes by the Penang Turf Club, a major horse racing course which was established in 1864 in Penang.
