And where might this be? Approximate region is fine.

Nice photo. Perhaps the hamlet of Lost, Aberdeenshire, Scotland, population 24. That looks like an old sign - they kept getting stolen. They replaced it in 2004 with a sign welded to a post concreted into the ground. (http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/scotland/3720848.stm)

You're absolutely correct, Tyreless. And that photo is certainly pre-2004.

Thanks ribuck - the name of the file was a clue to the photo's vintage, as well as the fashions.

Next, somewhere in Europe...

Honestly, some people are slack. I've managed to get there without maps, compass or signs. Frequently. :roll:

In the Orkneys?

Not in the Orkneys.

A clue: If you got lost going to Lost you could end up at this spot - it's less than 50kms from Lost.

Phew. For a moment there I was lost, was blind but now l see, up to a point.

Somewhere along The Great Glen Way walk - 125kms. Had a brief job stacking pipes in Aberdeen but this is foreign country.

Rivers there are the Avon and Devon. But this looks like a Loch.

Yes, this is a Loch. I’m pretty sure it’s owned by the royal family (certainly a couple of houses on the loch were used by the royal family for holidays in earlier times).

Well Balmoral's the famous residence. I'll have to look it up.

Mmm ... On the River Dee, in the Cairngorms! That could be the Royal Boat Shed. But a river's not a loch?

You're getting close. It's on the Balmoral estate, but not on the River Dee.

No shortage of lochs in the area it seems. Not Loch Brandy.
Somewhere amongst this lot I guess.

According to TripAdvisor, walking around this loch is the #1 thing to do in Ballater.

There you go. Lock "Mick" (Muick), 8 km's south of Braemar - home of the eponymous hot water service?

All the locals wound up in Canada?

Unable to post at this time so the floor is open.

That's it, vagrom. I stayed for a week in the nearby royal holiday house - my wife and I slept in Prince Albert's bedroom (seriously) - and we did the walk around Loch Muick most days.

It looks like a startlingly beautiful place. Would love to visit - had no idea.

Someone else please post.

Is interest in the international form of the game (sorry quiz) waning? if there's anyone out there try this, Europe.

No idea, but let's start somewhere - Scotland?

Posted: **Mon 08 Apr, 2019 5:16 pm**

further north

Posted: **Mon 08 Apr, 2019 6:01 pm**

Looks a lot like Northern Norway i.e above the arctic circle. but where?

Posted: **Mon 08 Apr, 2019 6:07 pm**

There's a good reason it looks like that Wobbly, but where indeed?

Posted: **Mon 08 Apr, 2019 8:51 pm**

Lofoten Islands? Somewhere between Narvik, Bleik and Svolvær?

Posted: **Mon 08 Apr, 2019 9:17 pm**

I suspect you are on Langoya Island. Looking Nth from somewhere on the southern arm of the island

Posted: **Mon 08 Apr, 2019 10:25 pm**

Correct Wobbly. Stayed at a small place called Gronning on the fjord below. Fantastic walking around there. Langoya means Long island.
Vagrom you are also correct but not nearly as accurate. You have also committed the sin of calling the Vesteralen islands the Lofoten islands. I was definitely in the Vesteralens.

Posted: **Mon 08 Apr, 2019 10:57 pm**

They use the name in a general sense but the Lofoten sub-region is the western chain ending with the village of Å. ( Spelling is critical if you're posting a letter to Å ).

Thanks Last.
I've walked in Lofoten but not Vesteralen.
Next one is also from Europe.

Posted: **Wed 10 Apr, 2019 10:22 am**

Sierra Nevada? Somewhere in southern Spain?

Posted: **Thu 11 Apr, 2019 8:38 am**

No Vagrom its not anywhere in Spain or any other Southern European country/state territory or colony.

Posted: **Thu 11 Apr, 2019 8:50 am**

Somewhere in Iceland maybe?
