redjambo Posted November 24, 2017 Share Posted November 24, 2017 I guess I'd better not catch any taxis in Edinburgh for a while just in case Lucky is driving and our small talk turns to JKB.

If it's of any consolation, Lucky, I don't actually feel as if I earned this point (if Dunks gives it to me). I only got the college because of his clue.

Love, Mr Smarty Pants Had to plug my iPad in during that, battery was drained, how many pictures of Edinburgh can someone look at it one night. Just kept taking me back to the same pictures of the old town or castles outside the city. Well played anyway my man, glad it's all over.

redjambo Posted November 24, 2017 Share Posted November 24, 2017 2 hours ago, Dunks said: Out of interest, which of my several clues did you eventually pick up on? The final "music" one. You had said earlier on that you were trying to find a clue to give us that didn't totally give it away. Given that, there was no way that your final "goodnight" video wasn't going to be that clue. I listened to the first couple of minutes of it and then realised that "music" had to be the clue, searched for music schools in Edinburgh, found a photo of St Mary's Music School, noticed it was a Scots Baronial building and, although it didn't appear to match the photo from any of the web photos of it, just went for it. I was as surprised as any when Mark_Mywords congratulated me. I have to say that I had looked at hundreds of photos of Scots Baronial buildings in Edinburgh at various points during the day but St Mary's Music School had never come up. There's no way I would have found it without your final clue. It was a cracker of a "Where is this?". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunks Posted November 24, 2017 Share Posted November 24, 2017 (edited) Well worked out all the same. Congrats again on what proved to be a nightmare. I purposely has the previous couple as schools in Edinburgh - that was clue # 1. Then of course, I confirmed age and the uniqueness (only music school in Scotland) of it's content. Confirmed location as Edinburgh. And finally music. Almost had a video of Evelyn Glennie, but thought that too obvious. Final clue (not required) can be the next where is this? With a bonus point for why this is a clue to the previous location Edited November 24, 2017 by Dunks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
