I am not sure if you mean close geographically or verbally, let's assume the latter and try Broughton House, or the former and try Balcaskie House (though Pittemweem is not the most modern of places).

No to both I'm afraid. I meant close geographically. Also, such houses would not be ancient in my terms.

Correct, bang in the middle of a modern housing estate. Much credit to their preservation of it. Your go.

Nobody? The dive might have been more of a stagger and a trip.

I'm guessing you're after a distillery and possibly a Speyside one and there my well runs dry as my knowledge of such establishments is approaching zero.

Getting very close Charles. It is a distillery. You don't need to know anything about whisky to spot the feet.

Correct, though I don't know how you have managed to get the name in mirror writing.

Would it be Fenton Tower?

Now a hotel, rather than the previous incarnation.
