    Maybe your photo is too big. I can see the one you've posted. It's a pine tree but I don't know what sort as it's just a close up so no idea of size or shape.
    Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.

    It's blown down so can't get height or shape

    Out of curiosity may I ask if ID needed because you want a replacement?

    Yeah, was going to offer the local ranger who looks after the area around the loch if they wanted a replacement

    What a lovely gesture Tam Thumb.

    And it is National tree planting week this week , so even more thoughtful :) 

    I would think the local ranger would know what it is so you could make sure.
    Unless you wanted it to be a surprise.

    Even if it wasn't a Scots Pine I would suggest that one of those would be a good replacement as it's a native species and appropriate for the area. There's a few possibilities for a 'two needle' pine and you can follow the guides below to get a positive ID.
    If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.

    Looking at it today again, the pine cone is prickly, as in enough to not want to pull one off.
    Searching for pictures of it, it looks like a Lodgepole pine.
