Yes, admit that was how I found it - thanks to my wife who showed me how.

I'll post the next one later today.

I was interested by that stone with the carved faces.

It's a sculpture by Amanda Wray and was part of the Sites of Meaning millennium project

that's got Hebrides written all over it.

If the writing says that then I'm afraid you must be reading it wrong. I like your thinking though, but it's not in quite the right direction.

Time I think for a bit more direction on this one, and the direction is north.
Not the Hebrides - keep going up the map.

Heading north from the Hebrides takes you to the Faroe Islands. I don't think that's going to be the answer but I'm enjoying looking at the Google images.

OK, not due north - we are staying in the British Isles here. But the Faroes are sort of on the right theme.

Looks like Shetland somewhere to me, but I can't work out where I've seen it so it's probably Orkney .... Trouble is that lots of things look a lot like that in Shetland (and quite possibly Orkney).

I'm struggling to even find some white houses on Shetland or Orkney, but it's got to be one of those two, surely?

Yes it has, and the clue is still 'north'.

Wow! No wonder it looked familiar. I drove down that road ten days ago. Weird. Not the largest or busiest A road in the UK, that.
