Beaten you by one Gillybob.
I didn’t know Dover Castke or Glasgow Art gallery.
In my defence I have never seen either before! grin

gillybob Thu 21-Jun-18 07:48:02

I got the Glasgow Art gallery Maw but I didn’t get Dover Castle or Leeds Town Hall .

70%

gillybob Thu 21-Jun-18 08:05:11

I got 70% too but can’t remember which was the other one I got wrong. Will have to do it again. (I know that’s cheating) wink

Well as Scots generally did very badly, I 'm pleased to say I had 100% although 2 were down to process of elimination!
An interesting quiz!

50% bottom of the class

80% Dover an easy one for me.

merlotgran Thu 21-Jun-18 09:37:56

80% as well.

Luckygirl Thu 21-Jun-18 09:42:20

Wow! - I got 70% - I expected much much less. Lots of inspired guesswork!

Parsley3 Thu 21-Jun-18 09:46:02

80% for me. ?

annodomini Thu 21-Jun-18 09:52:48

90%. Some 'educated' guesswork! grin

I managed 70% failed on ones I should have known such as Westminster Abbey which I've been to on a number of time living just 13 miles from London, but shot at that angle it could have been any very old cathedral. I took a calculated guess at others, such as the ones in Leeds and Liverpool, I've never been to either of those cities. On my list though!

I thought Dover Castle was Warwick Castle which I have visited and it's is pretty impressive, I didn't realise Dover also had such an outstanding one too, I guess it was front line of defence once though.

Only 60% for me. blush

Cherrytree59 Thu 21-Jun-18 10:34:16

80% could not make up mind if it was
St Michael's Mount or not and it was!

The Glasgow Art gallery was taken at a funny angle, it was the Coneheid
Duke of Wellington statue that I recognisedgrin

gillybob Thu 21-Jun-18 10:45:45

Aaah St Michael’s mount was the other one I got wrong Cherrytree ! I just made a wild guess (which was wrong) .

Blinko Thu 21-Jun-18 13:57:53

80%. Didn't get Glasgow Art Gallery or Leeds Town Hall.

Greyduster Thu 21-Jun-18 14:11:39

DH and I did this on our phones on the bus today. I got 90%; he got 80%. I didn’t get Glasgow Art Gallery. Dover Castle was a process of elimination!

GrannyGravy13 Thu 21-Jun-18 14:45:34

90% put the horse statue in wrong city

annsixty Thu 21-Jun-18 14:45:56

90% but very embarrassed as the one I didn't get was Westminster Abbey.

mcem Thu 21-Jun-18 15:05:51

I admit I recognised Glasgow from the 'traffic cone' rather than the art gallery building!
