    UPDATE>>>>>
    ok here's a new line of thought..... Wishart preached in Montrose, follow "the herd" the "angus costal road" south it leads you to Carnoustie where there is a famous golf club, haven't found out when play started yet.....

    If snakesam13's idea of Carnoustie is followed, the club was established 1850 - the year when Robert Peel died. Statues of Sir Robert Peel are found in the following UK locations.

    Parliament Square, London
    Outside the Robert Peel public house in Bury town centre, his birthplace
    Winckley Square in Preston city centre.
    West Midlands Police Training Centre, Edgbaston, Birmingham.
    Piccadilly Gardens in Manchester.
    Montrose town centre.
    Woodhouse Moor, Leeds.
    Tamworth town centre.
    George Square, Glasgow.
    Peel Park, Bradford
    Peel Centre, Hendon Police College, Hendon. In front of the Peel Centre over looking Peel Drive.

    George Square Glasgow has a railway station to "follow the line", but could it also refer to the "line" of George III ?

    Just a thought, could the 723 be the long B723 road that runs into and out of Lockerbie

    I've been chewing this over for the past few days, anyone had any more thoughts?

    I originally followed the Wishard arch, Charles Parnell route, but now doubt this is correct as I'm not sure he is a famous enough or UK based leader, and althought I like his statue with the outstretched hand which points at the hospital, I can't get any further than that.

    So, I then followed the Canoustie, Robert Peel line of thought, and found the statue of Robert Peel in Bury, with its ? 'Big Brother' Peel Tower memorial nearby...http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peel_Monument

    However, I am still puzzling over the '723 by the place that you chase' bit.....knowing there is at least one purely visual clue in these games, I'm wondering if there is a clock somewhere that shows 23 minutes past 3, or 7 minutes to 3?? My brain is starting to hurt now...:confused:

    There's a church nearby called St Andrews and the statue is in a direct line to his house, the train from Salford goes into Bury so I think you are on the right track here.
    If at first you don't succeed try, try, try again.

  • There a statue of Robert Peel in Parliament Square, so could the big brother possibly be Big Ben?

    Unfortunately Trent 27 the answer has to fit the number of blank letters in the original clue

    ie _ _ _ _ _ and _ _ _ _ _

    Keep working at it:T

    I think you could be right. And "You might need a hand" Hands on the clock?

    This is driving me mad now, only 4 days to go to get this! Any more ideas?

    As John A MacDonald was a freemason, I found this. Don't know if it means anything?

    The Real Matrix: Freemasonry Freemasonry is a worship of Lucifer by the top 5% of all Masons. You can spot evidences of Satanism all over the world. There are numerous Masonic/Satanic symbols on this web site, all of which originate from this secret society called, "The Brotherhood of the Serpent/Snake." Many call it "Big Brother" without even realizing its extraterrestrial origins. It was also known in ancient Egypt as "The Mystery Schools."
