I am sure it's not one of them unless on one of the small islands.  I think Mantis got lost down a dead end road and took a photo

[+weeman]

I've been to Flotta and Hoy, but don't think it's either of them

[The Mantis]

OK then. Mainland Orkney. Harbour House, Scapa. This is the opposite view.

This one should be easier

Now that I would have known straight away.  Went to the distillery when I was last in Orkney, three years ago.  A very basic shop, but we were still able to spend money

The photo was in 1999 when we stayed a week at Harbour House as a house swap when the kids were wee. The distillery was shut then. Went back in 2018 and it was very basic as you say. One of the poorest tours I've been on. Also no photography

The first of our two visits to Orkney was in 2002.  We went round the Highland Park distillery, and they told us then that some of their staff fired up the Scapa distillery for a few weeks each year, just to keep it in working condition.

Didn't go round the Scapa distillery three years ago - just wanted to see if they had anything unusual in the shop, for a present for a friend.

Here is one from me.

That is one part of Orkney I have not been to.  Good photo of the distillery.

I am stuck with weeman's castle I might recognise it from the front view 

[+weeman]

I've never seen the front, only the back. Private ground at the front.

[IBM]

Is it Balnagown Castle I have seen the front but not the back?

[+weeman]

No. More to the East.

[IBM]

I give up been looking around easter ross on google and found nothing 

[+weeman]

Ballone castle near Portmahomack.
