looking at the second line, I found this:
Two streets in Carnoustie are named after Victoria Cross winners. ...Petty Officer George Samson of the Royal Naval Reserve was born in Carnoustie in 1889,[139] and awarded the medal for multiple acts of gallantry during the landings at Gallipoli on the 25 April 1915, during which he rescued a number of his colleagues and treated their injuries under fire, before himself being hit by machine gun fire, sustaining 19 bullet wounds.
HTH...or at least starts us off!0 -

what about Appleby Fair ?0

I wondered about the F labelled place and googled to see what F stands for on a map. I came up with lots of options, but the most likely sounding one to me was FOLLY. Could we be looking for a Folly in a field near a village somewhere? Could it be The /----/Folly/
????
What could the "artful location" be? Is it something to do with the Artful Dodger or perhaps a gallery because that is full of art. The last word is 7 letters, so is "gallery".0 -
field in a village? green?
the f_ _ _ green gallery?sieze the carp0 -
I think maybe we need to narrow it down to a location as with the last one being in Scotland...
Any ideas for the third stanza? When I googled soap holes, it came up with sink holes...could it be a place that sounds like a currency with a sinkhole?
Or am I just confusing things further?!0 -

But the last one started off in Stratford on Avon, then went to Westminster Abbey, Berkhampsted and other places. I think that the main thing to concentrate on is the last stanza, or possibly the one before that too and not worry too much about the earlier ones.0 -
I get the feeling that Bars Apples On East is an anagram of a town name, but I'm getting nowhere if it is, always been useless at anagrams. Then we've to 'take two' of something from there, but no clue as to what and join it with George from Carnoustie. If George Samson VC is the man we're looking for from Carnoustie, I'm thinking we might be looking for 2 more VC holders from the anagram town?0

I tried an online anagram solver (am rubbish at them tooI get the feeling that Bars Apples On East is an anagram of a town name, but I'm getting nowhere if it is, always been useless at anagrams.

) and the only town name that comes out is Barnstaple (+ letters P, A, S, E, O, S), so not sure if that's any help? 0
