SPURTLE PUZZLE SOLUTIONS

Submitted by Editor on

The 24 solutions to our puzzle were all solvable by visiting the Great Hall of the Scottish National Portrait Gallery.

 

The image accompanying the clues (right) was our modern take on the figure of Caledonia (below), painted (like everyone else here) in c.1897 by the artist William Brassey Hole for his processional frieze.

 

Hence our subhead ‘Whole greater than parts’.

 

PUZZLING PLACES AND PEOPLE

Whole greater than parts

 
This is a puzzle. 
 
Each clue links to both a place and, with one exception, a named individual. 
 
There are 12 places and 11 individuals and something else to name.
 
Confusingly, as well as the 12 places mentioned above, all the clues are linked to a single, different place.
