Can You Tell Where It Is Yet?

[Hamish's Passenger]

If you look at the crane to the right of the ship, you are seeing it side on. 
That suggest to me that the view is almost directly West.  If so, then it to far south to be Loch Lomond but not that far off.  Maybe Beinn Dubh.

That’s a shout actually.

If you look at Google Maps in the direction you are facing, it’s more of a WNW direction. Following a straight line from the shore line of the docks, it’s certainly more likely to be Lomond that Arran.

Cheers guys that's really helpful 50 miles as the crow flies it pretty decent when you are only 50m above sea level.

Nailed it.

I'm so happy to see my favourite thread resurrected too!

I think it's definitely Ben Lomond. It's exactly the right shape and from your view it's just to the right of the Longannet chimney, so it's bang in the right place.

I've been to this one, but I didn't recognise it.

I have been to all four places.  This is probably the least scenic.

Still struggling with your recent one - maybe a mine in Linlithgow or Leadhills?

I guess the big clue would be, Streetview isn't just horizontal.

Yes.  I suspect it is a mineshaft but I am not sure where.

I've been to all four on GB (was at Dunnet Head in a ridiculous winter rain storm, it was magnificent). Also been to the most easterly and southerly in Scotland. I've not been to St Kilda yet though...

No, it's outside, on a normal road.

NOT horizontal. And I posted two pictures from the same place - there's only one difference.

How appropriate.   Today is the anniversary of the assassination of Abraham Lincoln.

Bump, can anyone identity what/where the hill is far in the distance? Interested to know how far you can see from top of NQ/Invk/Rosyth

Found a couple of website that might help in the future, both say Ben Lomond

Think I've been passed that roundabout.  You can just make out Sermitsiaq poking out on the right.

I assume you are referring to Sanikiluaq.  In  any case, one benefit of this thread is that people are getting to know about places with Inuit names.

Presumably this picture is one of Inuit Graffiti but seriously I think that Google Maps have simply put it in the wrong place.

Sanikiluaq is in Nunavut.  I'm pretty sure that's Sermitsiaq.  That picture can't be Greenland - there's no railway lines there...or roads out of the towns for that matter.

Okay.  You meant Sermitsiaq.  In any case, Google Maps does place it in Greenland but I really seriously think it is a mistake.  

[Fullerene]

I also have serious doubts about this one in Russia.

 

[Fullerene]

This one is also from Russia and I suspect it is also completely in the wrong place - although on this one I might be wrong.  Obviously nobody can be expected to locate any of these three pictures from the picture alone but if you  go on to Google Maps, they are located in the least likely places.

 

[Fullerene]

An easier one.
