Or Aarhus, depending how old you are, yes, Mr Plum has it, we are in Denmark in the seaport of Aarhus.

Mr Plum to roll the dice.

OK, here goes:



No prize for knowing who he is, but a bonus point for knowing why he's where he is and a further bonus for knowing who paid for the statue to be made and installed, and why.

[om15]

I think that we might be in Edinburgh, full story here

The arms are those of the Duke of Buccleuch and Queensferry. The location of the monument will require a further search.

[Smeagol]

The monument is Mercat Cross in Thornhill, Dumfries and Galloway. Nearest town to Drumlanrig castle one of the seats of the aforementioned Duke.

[om15]

Yes it is, Thornhill in the Nyth valley, well worth a visit, well found by smeagol.
Your round

[Smeagol]

This is a town hall/council building. But where...?

[ian16th]

Well the car is LHD.

[Smeagol]

That narrows it down to most of the world then!

Portugal?

[om15]

It looks like an EU flag (on the left) next to a red flag, so I think that we are in Europe, I think that I have discounted Maderia and the Algarve.

[Ex-Ascot]

Frog land?

[4mastacker]

Is that parking sign Spanish/Portuguese/Maltese? Is the building no longer a municipal/civic office but something like an art gallery/library/cafe?

[Smeagol]

Sorry for the delay, been out most of the day.

4mastacker is correct, it is indeed Portugal...but I need an answer that is a tad more specific.

[1DC]

Looks like a bit of red and green in the centre flag, my guess would be Italy or Portugal.

Silves Town Hall

[Smeagol]

Ex-A has it, it is indeed the town Hall in Silves, Portugal.

You have the honour sir.
