I cheated as well never been there or seen that before.

How much of the Highlands did you cover working?

All over the Highlands and Islands.  Oban southwest with the odd trip to Campbeltown.  Dalwhinnie south with the odd trip to Perthshire.  Elgin east with the odd trip as far as Banff.

I just wondered as I avoided putting some pics in, no point in making it impossible  I know not to put the Lowlands in.

Aye, it’s about a mile off the A9 on a backroad near Dunning. Bit of an unclear history - thought to have been built early 1800s, but there is no record of a local witch/person called Maggie Wall.

A good one Yngwie I like these old stories, if it was on a backroad in the Highlands I might have got it 

[Yngwie]

There was an unsolved murder at the monument a couple of years ago, or at least the young woman’s body was dumped there. No indication of anything to do with witchcraft though.

Right county.

My initial thought was Ardrishaig but the older houses put me towards Tarbert with all the bhoys for moorings before the pontoons were built.  I will need to sleep on it to see it I have any more thoughts.

I may be wrong, but Carradale?

Not Carradale either...

Just realised that you can't get that view on GSV as it's on a minor road. So here's one from the other end.

I think you have it Robert a place I haven't been to so that's my excuse  we will have to wait for Mantis to finish his dinner now.

Very nice, some sort of beef stew with olives and red wine, mashed tatties.

[Robert]

Only been in that part of Argyll once but a nice village. Hadn’t realised it was the home of Kyles Athletic until we passed their ground. The Waverley was passing when we were there.

I don’t have many digital photos in Scotland so this one is very easy: what is in the distance and taken from where?

 

[The Mantis]

Ailsa Craig, been there  but I'm not a golfer so I'll guess Turnberry..

This one should be easy.

It's a lot nearer Sneck than the last two posted

I thought it might be a bit easy for you

Since I haven't a clue about most of these, I might as well put in one that I know.

Where is this bloke and his headless companion?

Elgin Cathedral.
