geogphotos Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 More locations to try and identify for those who like such things. First, not a great photo but it is now niggling at me that I can't track down the location. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aphperspective Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 I have absolutely no proof but it has that "West Coast of Scotland" look. Probhably miles out 😜 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probhably miles out 😜 Same thought here though probably not too far north given the houses with two storeys. The number of cars suggests a beach or some other attraction, I'd imagine a small harbour just behind the houses in the foreground. And I'm imagining a nice old fashioned pub somewhere in the mix.... Maybe the number of cars has something to do with boats leaving here for day trips out to islands? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Standfast Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 (edited) I had a look at Pennon the local hero location but no. The architecture certainly has a Scottish vibe. Edited January 13, 2021 by Mr Standfast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aphperspective Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 I was thinking thats the back of a small hotel or pub with car park, the beach appears to be on the left which my bizzare logic puts it West Coast and the television aerials are pointing inland so to speak.

Mr Standfast Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 And maybe South facing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amazing, well done! How did you find it? Though I don't think that the houses in my pic are Low Isle House. Looks like the cars are parked outside the Post Office and shops. So we got the rough general location but I was totally wrong about other things..... Thanks all. That's my 'to do' list nice and tidy for now. 😃 Edited January 14, 2021 by geogphotos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Standfast Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 I agree its not Low Isle House. Got a bit carried away! And my spellings rubbish, 'tis Isle of Whithorn not Whitehorn. How did I find it? Sometimes ASD comes in handy. Stay safe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
