I suppose you'll just google it now to tell me where it is. . . :laugh:

Those ruins are so impressive I can't imagine them not being world famous.

And yet...

Some unidentified place nearer to "home" than the centre of Paris, hmmm....

Clue 1: north

Clue 2: the structure was reduced to its present state a little over 260 years ago.


A guess based on the approximate year little over 260 years ago year and seen as it's ruins, Culloden?

I actually know it's the Atlantic Bridge 'cuz ah bin across it. :wink:
It's up near Oban and leads across the Atlantic to a small island.

Here's an bigass, very old obelisk where you wouldn't immediately expect to see one:

It would be exaggerating to say it's near home - or even a downright lie!
