Where am I number 3?

Just for a change of pace, does anyone recognise the attached by any chance?

Of course, it may no longer exist.

There is an Edwardian lady standing in the doorway if you look closely.

My guess would be Scotland.

Just had a look through mansions and stately home photos that I could find for Scotland, but no luck.

What makes you say that Mike, the round tower entrance?

It's rather sad how many of these types of homes are also being left to rot.  :(

Yes, the round tower, the mock baronial aspect, the conifer plantation behind all makes me think of similar houses I've seen in Scotland. I wouldn't put any money on it though.

I found many examples with the round tower entrance  in the Scotland images, so you could be on the money.  I'll start wading through English ones.

Just got a feeling that it could be a school. There are no curtains, only blinds, and a lot of the windows are open. Maybe classrooms?

Do you think this could be the same place?

This one definitely is the same as the second one posted.  The lady with the basket is in both.
