Edinburgh, Hogmanay procession?

You'll need to be considerably more accurate than that!

Standing at the junction of High Street and George IV Bridge looking down the High Street. The main building in shot is the High Court of Justiciary, HBOS HQ is behind the court, Deacon Brodies pub is just out of shot to the left.

Is that accurate enough?

Thank you for saving me a deal of trawling round google earth

If I ever get a clear head again I'll post the uncut version!

Beadnell Harbour it is.

My pictures are just too easy.

a very well known location

tonyh · « **Reply #2329 on:** 02 January, 2010, 06:49:07 pm »

There's a hole somewhere near there

Lulworth

Lulworth it is.

I immediately recognised the path in the distance that leads up, IIRC, to Durdle Door past Steps Hole. It's that odd steep alternative that nailed it for me.

One from last summer -

I know that woman.

Is it Threave Castle, btw?

Too easy ! Yes its Threave Castle.

I'm going to have to choose a harder one next time...

Rig of Jarkness · « **Reply #2336 on:** 09 January, 2010, 07:05:49 pm »

Actually I don't think this is any harder but I just like the view -

Bluebottle · « **Reply #2337 on:** 09 January, 2010, 08:15:58 pm »

Looks like Cullen to me.

EDIT: difficult to say as, like Stirling, I have never seen it in the sunshine.

Rig of Jarkness · « **Reply #2338 on:** 09 January, 2010, 08:18:03 pm »

Cullen it is.

This is probably dreadfully obscure, but I can provide clues:

Not one of the rooms in York museum?

Bluebottle · « **Reply #2342 on:** 10 January, 2010, 11:26:03 pm »

Now is it that when I look at Deano's photo I hear a little voice saying, "Noi, who wodd live in a hoiss loik this? David, it's over to you."

Tourist Tony · « **Reply #2343 on:** 11 January, 2010, 01:39:25 am »

Unless it is one of the 'Uts at Ugley....

clarion · « **Reply #2344 on:** 11 January, 2010, 10:04:58 am »

That was my thought, but I've been in two (How many are there?) and don't recognise it as either.

Deano · « **Reply #2345 on:** 11 January, 2010, 09:21:11 pm »

It's not in England, so neither York nor Ugley.

It's not someone's house either!

Broadmeadows SYHA?

(looks like a YH, so pick one at random)

Aye, you're on the right lines, but it's not part of the YHA (or the SYHA).

I did say it was horribly obscure.

Rig of Jarkness · « **Reply #2348 on:** 13 January, 2010, 07:23:59 pm »

I think we need more of a clue

Deano · « **Reply #2349 on:** 13 January, 2010, 07:34:21 pm »

Aw. I was going to play the "warmer-colder-hot-BOILING" game and drag it out a bit

It's a mountaineers' hostel in the Highlands.
