The first is a hawthorn, the second I don't know, I'd guess a dwarf cultivar of maybe Monterey cypress but could be a Hebe or something else completely.
@Uff- Yes the bottom one does have a lemony scent.
@"bédé" I need to remodel the garden as quickly as possible as it is really a mess. I have lots of plants that I brought with me from my previous home and they are in pots and have been like that since January so I am anxious to get the garden done and plant them out as early as the weather allows in Spring, so I need to decide what to keep and what to remove before I have the garden transformed into something that actually looks like a garden and not a mess off falling down raised planters and wrongly placed plants. I knew it would be hard to get plants identified at this time of year due to lack of leaves and flowers, but if I can get an idea of what is here that would be an amazing help.
I'd agree with Hawthorn for the tree [it's certainly not a rowan] and the one @Silver surfer mentions is probably the most common one, so it's a likely choice.
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
I thought the bottom one was a conifer of some sort but zooming in I think it might be Erica but not sure which one. I don't think it's tree heather because they are more upright with branching stems and can grow quite tall. This one is more spreading. I'm only thinking at this point though.

2. Not sure.????
2. ?
Repeat your enquiries with new pics when your plants are flowering.
Hawthorn, and might the other be a heather?
