Farfar?

Guide-dogs for the blind training centre?

Not convinced by the brickwork thought.  Doesn't look Angusian.

You're on the right lines but correct in thinking it doesn't look Angusian.  Here's another clue, it stands in front of a very large small building...

It is UK. It is flat. It is a town where the bus stops are green. Bricks (not the plinth, the walls in the background) look fens-like. I would guess Cambridge or environs.

It is indeed, which might make this easier.

Half a point for that  :)

As those who are 'guessing' at Bush know doubt know, it's at the very large Small Animal Hospital (sadly now renamed as Hospital for Small Animals, a shame, I always got a chuckle from the old sign) at the Dick Vet School just outside Embra.  I've been admiring the 'conventional' view of the statue you get from the road for some months, it wasn't until we stopped for me to get the photo that I realised it had the skeletal other side.  I trust that it's anatomically correct...

The Dick Vet was way better when it was in town. It meant there was a pub nearby full of vet students.

Cue lots of stories about vets in pubs.

If that's the tarn below Seat Sandal, you've gone to a lot of trouble moving Gable and the Scafells to somewhere in the region of Penrith.
