luckyBatistuta Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 Pretty much the same as you, it just keeps firing up images of buildings in Glasgow. Only buildings with that colour that I could think of in Edinburgh were around the Grange area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark_Mywords Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 Clues so far.... This building has a lot of maroon pipework. This building is more than 25 yards long. I'll think up a new clue in 5 minutes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redjambo Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 Ah, so it's longer than 25 yards but not longer than 25 metres. Therefore it's between 25 and 27.3403 yards long. That narrows it down... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
