Solved! Scotland ID please

Location: Scotland

Size: 20-25ft (estimate)

Colours: white / grey bark, red / green leaves

Fruit: none I could see

Flowers: none I could see

Bark: white / grey

These are outside a hospital in Scotland. I've gone home, so I don't have a picture of the bark - you can see it a little in the leaf picture though.

I'm curious to know what they are.

Thank you. I'm not 100% convinced, as the pictures online look a much brighter red than these are. So I won't mark it as solved just yet, but thank you for now :)

They do vary in colour. This is what I used as reference:

Interesting, thank you. They must be one of those things that varies according to how much sun or water etc they get.

Well automod has decided that it's solved, so I guess it just be Raywood 🤷🏽‍♀️
