Forget right and left because that road twists and sometimes the hills will be slightly to the right of your vision. He is undoubtedly heading to Edinburgh in that image, if it’s him. He might simply be collecting his stuff, or it might be an old image from the first time he came (but then why post an image now) Cleary you never did geography. Go look at any OS map. The Pentland Hills are always west of the A702. To be on your right side when driving on it then they are to your right. I have walked the Pentlands may times and you have to travel south east to find the road at Carlops/Flotterston/Silverburn. ps no need to swear.

I don't know why you're so adamant about this. https://maps.app.goo.gl/89apazrgqBhuSqgr6 You are indeed correct, but I am the bearer of bad news... The photo was taken in the Autumn or Winter as the tree to the right is bare!!! No leaves at all. Here is a picture of the same tree taken last June ... It's an old photo taken by Simms!!!

Lone Striker Posted July 3, 2022 Share Posted July 3, 2022 Regardless of whether he's travelling N or S .....why would Ellis (or his passenger) post a pic from his moving car just south of Edinburgh anyway ? Has he got form for leading fans on a merry guessing game ? Maybe he's just winding up the Hobos into thinking he's not coming to Hearts ?

JimmyCant Posted July 3, 2022 Share Posted July 3, 2022 Having reviewed Google street maps of almost the entire A702 and eventually finding the exact location of the image, I accept that the vehicle was travelling south.

Seems pretty distinctive, and there is a hill to his right. The scenery does seem more Scottish than English hills. The key is to find someone with nothing better to do than sit and follow Google Street View all the way along the route until they find it. And if they don't, then do the same with other roads until they do! 😃 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
