Carloway, Isle of Lewis on the west coast.

“detective game” did it for me immediately thought of Inspector Morse and his assistant Lewis. Colin Dexter who wrote the Inspector Morse novels was born 10miles down the road from my house!

Guess it’s back to the big concrete battlement thing now…

“Oops I mean the August 8th comment*”

John, was that comment helpful to you? I’m thinking: Clouseau; Poirot; Holmes.

None of those has lead me anywhere. Sigh.

Searched all Dot Islands and Dash Island doesn’t seem to exist, also tried Samuel Island after Samuel Morse but no luck there either. Searched where Samuel Morse was born too nothing there. This was before I saw the previous comment though!
