However, it is the same site and the same location.

It has been adapted and modified over a period of 100 years or more.

This is like the discussion and debate over the building in India

Even the bank and steps are only superficially similar. Look at where the steps are in relation to the two houses. For the steps to be the same (and they're not) the whole house would have had to be picked up and moved to the left (as well as being totally rebuilt in a different shape and orientation).

I'm another one who can't see any similarities between Fron Yw as posted by Jen, and our mystery house. (apart from a the banks which are also different).

Most definitely they are different houses, and even if there had been alterations they wouldn't have bothered to alter the building materials, all the windows, all the chimneys, the entire roofline etc etc ....  :P

I think you're on your own with this one ScouseBoy, and you did say on another thread that you'd lost your glasses.  ;D 8)

I can't get past the idea of this being the rear view of a country club....golf, cricket, tennis or crown green bowling....could the seats be for teams....or observation ...and the observation tower too is an interesting feature....just me thinking aloud...but I could be way off the mark.
But in common with others....I keep coming back to this one.

Interesting thoughts Carol, I hadn't thought of the possibility of the tower being a viewpoint for sporting events, possibly an umpire, hmmm, keep thinking aloud Carol  ;)

I think we all keep coming back to this one we don't like to be beaten.
I think I have used all the search criteria mentioned plus many more.
Officers mess
Sergeants mess
Sports club houses [as previously mentioned]
Coastguard properties
Sanitariums
School
Rehabilitation centres
Houses designed by M H Baillie Scott
etc

I keep going back to WAI 4. the children playing in the rock pools on the East Lothian coast, with Bass Rock in the background, where were they staying? If you look at my maps, there is nowhere close, considering the year and the transport available.
Could this be the area to look in?
I have looked, but haven't found.....yet

I am (very) likely to be wrong, but to me this house has the look of more southerly counties, but I like your thinking Pat. :) Observation tower and house by the sea - makes sense ...

I've been concentrating on the south too, but you never know, this property could fool us [well it has hasn't it]
Have a look at Muirfield golf clubhouse, it is in the right direction and there are loads of other properties like this
The nearest property we have identified is Balhomie and that is 88 miles on todays roads from Dunbar and Bass rock. That is a long way to take the children for a day out.
