Identification please.

Hi all,
Will someone please identify this leaf. We think it's a tree sapling. I had a similar situation many years ago, when weeding a previous garden. Had my hand around a sturdy looking "weed" & decided to leave it. That "Weed" grew into a handsome Silver Birch.
Any help appreciated.

Knowledge is knowing that a tomato is a fruit.
Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad.
You might not want to keep that, if it is Ash. They get quite big
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
They also seed like there's no tomorrow so a constant battle with seedlings/saplings.
Lovely trees and concern with Ash dieback but..............
Best dug out before it gets too big
We don't have any die back in this area, although I think Perthshire does now. Different climate there though. There's some impressive ones near me. That pic is just up the road at the farm.

Thanks again.
