We did talk about this place with Spendius once...
Oops!
I withdraw it.
Back soon.
Whar? How about Europe, George. (found a lot of info on Clipperton Island; Jacques Cousteau, for one)
What was that withdrawal all about? Hmmm. I hear pot is good for alzheimers
Europe, George? (still didn't get the Spendius bit)

Francis was saying that spendius had posted a picture of that place
sometime back. So I posted this second one instead.
Aye, lass, it is in Europe.
This has been one crazy day. all kinds of critical errors, and I have to log in. Ah, well.
Let's try the U.K., George
Nae, Lass, farther north.
Well, laddie, it must be Scotland. <smile>
Aye!
...and, sad to say, I have to leave for bit.
One clue: "The Honours of Scotland"
Found this:
Edinburgh Castle is situated on Castle Rock, a volcanic crag, and is protected to the north, south and west by sheer cliffs rising 400 feet (121.92 metres) above sea level. Access to the castle is by a steep road on the eastern side.
To the east of the castle the rocky prominence slopes away more gently before rising to a volcanic knoll, Arthur's Seat. A mile from the castle, along the street correctly known as High Street and Canongate, but commonly called "The Royal Mile", is Holyrood Palace, the official Scottish residence of the reigning monarch. Between these two landmarks lies the Old Town with many tall, narrow buildings, as land upon the ridge was always scarce.
Perhaps one of the two.
This is north of Edinburgh and on the coast.
It is not really Elsinore.
15 miles from Aberdeen, less than two miles south of Stonehaven, on the east coast ?
George wrote:One clue: "The Honours of Scotland"
"The Keiths, Earls Marischal of Scotland, the feudal proprietors of this fortress, have afforded some renowned names to grace the annals of Scottish history. From a very early date they were entrusted with the hereditary office of Marischal at the Court, and were thus the custodians of the regal honours of the kingdom?- the Crown, the Sceptre, and the Sword of State, which once bore sway in Scotland."
Walter - yes
Francis - yes
Anyone want to end the suspense and say the name?
