    It looks like a variegated cypress or false cypress or lawsons cypress. If you google those you should get some help. Without a better close up of the leaves it would be difficult to define.

    Any better? However the False variety looks closest.

    California Incense Cedar Tree looks more like it.

    It looks like a variegated Chamaecyparis [false cypress] of some kind. They're usually quite neat in terms of foliage though, but the  most common ones here are the C. pisiferas so that might just be a different type. Not one I've seen before. 

    I've never heard of California Incense cedar. Are you in the UK?
    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....



    I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

    Yes, in Scotland. If you google it, you`ll see examples and they definitely look much more like the tree I posted. I definitely think it`s a cedar as opposed to Cypress.

    Calocedrus decurrens 'Aureovariegata' (variegated incense cedar) does look a reasonable match.  Conifers are notoriously difficult to identify exactly, but if you just want something which looks a lot like your photo, that's a possibility...
    Since 2019 I've lived in east Clare, in the west of Ireland.
