Yes that was it before the restoration was done

It is the restored Kirkmichael Church at Poyntzfield and as weeman said worth a visit.  It is open daily but the door might need a bit of a push to open it.

Another easy one just to wake the thread up

[IBM]

Spey Bay with Lossiemouth in the distance?

[Robert]

An easy one, but which part?

 

[Yngwie]

Sea is on the right as you look north to Scotland so that must be the Berwickshire Coastal Path, just north of Berwick. I think that is the most northerly point of England.

I think you are on the right track Yngwie.

[Robert]

Yes, Marshall Meadows. This is the sign on the other side of the gate:

After Robert's raid over the border here is another church.

[IBM]

This one is on an A road.

I probably should know but don't. The viaduct is a big clue?

[IBM]

A BIG clue you will have driven past it. I thought snorbens might have got it.

Now there's a challenge!  Took me a while, though.  I guess you remembered that I was looking along the Dava Way trail when I was trying to identify what turned out to be Killiecranckie viaduct.

It is Edinkillie Church and viaduct, from the A940 between Forres and Grantown.

Wikipedia says that the viaduct is used as the symbol for the Dava Way, but it doesn't look like it from their website - https://davaway.org.uk/

Early 1996.  But what, and where?

[IBM]

It was the boat Tom Maclean I think his name is was going to cross the Atlantic in. He had a job getting sponsored and it might have broken down. I am sure he was talking about another attempt a few years ago. Looks like Scrabster but might be down the east coast as I think it was built there.

Not sure if by "east coast" you mean the same as me - and that could be a clue    Have another go!

I am stuck with this one although I think that I have seen it before.  Someone else help

The picture in the website is the viaduct an aerial view from the other side and the large house I presume is the old manse the garden gate is marked private garden.  Here is the viaduct.

Doesn't look as though anyone else is helping.   It's Burghead, where "Moby", constructed in Forres, was launched.  Not sure I'd call that "east coast", but then again others might.

I checked, and Burghead harbour still looks like that nowadays.

I think it was a case of others not knowing just like me   That's what I call the east coast but I thought it was further along the coast.  I have been there a couple of times.

Sorry guys, thought the thread was deid 

[IBM]

[+weeman]

I thought you would have seen the raised statue in the background from that angle

[The Mantis]

Edit - East coast surely
