    That eerie sunlight on the mountains at first glance looks like the Northern Lights.

    Wasdale Head from Scafell.

    Scotland perhaps? Or Lake District?

    Very pleasant landscape. A northern Arcadia.

    It seems that I was informed well. As regards your subtle mention, no doubt you are a Scot in all ways.

    The surest way to make people pay attention is to take something off a site.

    Is that a beautiful building in Scotland? Forgive me if I am going against consensus if this is some much-loved building, but it looks like a nursing home to me (and not the imposing and/or beautiful kind). I mean, Scotland has some stonking buildings before this one.

    Those are buildings of a very famous scot architect: Charles Rennie Mackintosh. Two photos are from the Hill house, designed around 1900. All of them are quoted in all books about History of Architecture-

    Yes indeed. Not the best examples of his work I have to say but well ahead of their time as far as design goes. Never been there however I suspect better riches are to be found inside.
