She's a nice ship with some a dark past (not her fault obviously), as she was used as a torture place by Pinochet's regime.

yeppers, long as you have not been drinking,
have to look up my copy of the three muskateers, see if it's permitted
my keyboard has no caps!

Right...that's enough of this unseemly sloppiness....

Anyone like to have a guess as to where this is...or rather what it is. Photo taken probably before most of you (Walrus excepted) were born.

The portly figure on the left is my old mum (god rest her Calvanist soul)..I've no idea who the chap on the right is standing beside his mum...

Easily explained Jack. I was only nine at the time and wearing my rockclimbing outfit. (pic enclosed)

Alright - I assume you all give up. It's the ornamental binnacle on the Royal Yacht 'Britannia'...

So someone offer up a 'real' one, the brain is beginning to stultify...(new word for you Frosty...)

OK, here's one easy, I want to sail there and have some secret tanks under the cabin sole.

Bunnahabhain Distillery situated at the northern end of Islay at Coal Ila in the Sound of Islay. If you do go there Raggi - beware the Corrievrechan...
Remember your ancestors came to grief there in bygone days.

A Norwegian Prince seeking the hand of a Highland Princess was told he could have her if he moored his longboat for three tides in the Corrievrechan (Europe's largest maelstrom). He knew he'd need the strongest hawsers possible - and so had his men cut off their wive's hair (the logic being that true love conquers all) and wove his ropes from their locks. Unfortunately on the second day one of the wives was 'unfaithful' and the hawsers parted...

[Raggi_Thor]

OK, another one from Norway :-)

A difficult one, because it has nothing of special relevancy.
Holmengra lighthouse, # B4156, Hordaland?
You should have posted something easiest, as the one down here.
