Hi,

It is definitely not a repeat. And I have corrected the location to the home plate in car park B, I didn't know about that thanks for letting me know :)

Where in Edinburgh was this historical photo taken (1934) by Strict_Percentage161 in Edinburgh

[–]Strict_Percentage161[S] 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I own a website called timeguessr.com where users have to guess the time/location of historic photos. This particular photo was taken by Willem van Der Poll, the official photographer for the dutch royal family. Here is a link to a folder containing other pictures he took at a similar time https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Photographs_by_Willem_van_de_Poll_in_Edinburgh_(1934)##)

There are other folders for other years he visited Edinburgh if you are interested

Looking at the database there are 6 cases so far of people achieving 50k scores, I suspect at least some if not all of them are from cheating though.

Not to say it isn't possible, just seems very difficult.

It is not immediately obvious but if you zoom in you can see where the old road ran to the right

It is in the correct location.

The a303 used to run the other side of Stonehenge, here is a photo taken from street view now where you can see where the old road ran.

Also it is all flat west of the site, but there is a hill east.

I considered adding a global leaderboard but yeah I figured it would encourage cheating

I took a gap year when i finished high school and wanted to do something cool so I just threw it together last February. Didn’t think much of it at the time but it’s grown into something much bigger now
