An impressive lump of defense when seen from the 'business' side . . .

We have a winner!

Yes, the infamous now-you-see-it, now-you-don't gun emplacement between Utah and Omaha beaches.

I'm going with the road to Ardno across the loch from Inverary. I might even go so far as to say it's by the lovely Thistle Guest House?

There is a small amount of blue sky top right, so unlikely to be Scotland.

I can see why LK mentions Inverary but I’ll go Lochcarron

Ive been in England far too long apparently :(:p

to paraphrase a song played on the tour bus where we pulled in to take that pic, 'I've been in Jockland since ye!!' :rolleyes::shock::D:cool:

Must admit, it was a beautiful part of the world I'd not seen before. The ferry from McInroy's Point to Hunter's Quay c/w escorting dolphins added to the experience. Lot of property for yer money too. Free university, prescriptions makes me think about retirement :rolleyes:

That is indeed a fantastic part of the world, seems like something untouched around every corner, Otter Ferry particularly beautiful I think....

Not quite Otter Ferry in the pic, nor the Thistle Guest House, but getting warmer ;)
