this is my first post so please be gentle with me.

i'm not sure exactly of the species of plant, but i believe it's a palm.
the problem is that this year it looks as if it's dying, the leaves are turning brown all over and there aren't any fresh green leaves emerging.

we live in the very north of scotland so have been surprised it's made it this far, but i was hoping someone might be able to offer some advice on what to do/how to revive it.

i've attached a picture, it's in a south facing garden, but is exposed to high winds. has the last brutal winter been too much for it ? please help !

many thanks
Robert
