But, to grab the 3 points you'll have to be specific as to what is in the photograph. You're so on the right lines. I scrubbed the plaque from the photo as it was a dead giveaway.

I've scrubbed the 'give away' seeing as my ones have been way too easy recently. Where is this? London Road/Hillside Crescent? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wee Mikey Posted April 16, 2023 Share Posted April 16, 2023 (edited) 40 minutes ago, John Findlay said: London Road/Hillside Crescent? Indeed it is. But, as per @Ally Bee, top marks are reserved for a precise hit on the actual arborial specimen in question. The big clue is in the tree's decoration, and I must admit that I'm struggling to think up another clue besides the plaque that I scrubbed from the photo. Could always take a stroll there and find it! 🤣🤣🤣 Edited April 16, 2023 by Wee Mikey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good shout, though. My one is in London Road Gardens. It's a modest wee tree that folks likely walk past without a second glance and is currently adorned with Ukranian Flag coloured ribbons.

Wee Mikey Posted April 16, 2023 Share Posted April 16, 2023 It was planted in 2010 and gives me a wee chuckle when passing as it has a rather grandiose title. Typical bleedin' Edinburgh. 😄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wee Mikey Posted May 13, 2023 Share Posted May 13, 2023 Here's another away match day puzzler. Obviously, the 'where' (or at least roughly where) is kinda obvious, but who might this be, and why is the person worthy of recognition? At least there's always some culture to be had on these seemingly endless disappointing and lengthy away days ... even in today's destination.

Somewhere, archived, I MUST have more pics, but the only one I could find on my phone was this one from 30th September 2016 because I'd posted it elsewhere. @luckyBatistuta ... you'll see right away how come I clocked the location when I awoke shortly after midnight and saw your 2nd picture. In spite of me not having been there since 2016, the image was deep in ma heid. Your 1st photo was a tad distorted and was driving me nuts. Your 2nd one, much clearer, gave the game away. isn't it amazing how images can reside in one's memory and be triggered years later? Here is my photo from 30th September 2016. 👇 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
