Ann Meo brings on the clues and she and Kenneth have one of
their exchanges. “I’ll do my job, you get on with yours,” she tells him and
leaves. “We’ll have to get a saucer of milk for her,” he snipes. |

Annie steps under the waterfall, gets wet and finds the clue
in a shell. |
| 2 |
When she arrives at Mrs Maclean’s isolated house, Annie is
offered a cup of coffee by Mrs Maclean, but politely refuses and asks for the
next clue: a brooch in a case on the sideboard. |

The helicopter lands on the beach near the ruin of Moy Castle.
Annie opens the castle door, finds an electric torch and begins searching. She
reaches a room overgrown with vegetation (green room) and looks under a stone
on the window-sill. The clue had disappeared. [We later learned that the clue
had been taken away by a tourist, who later saw the programme and wrote in]. |
| 4 |
Annie flies to Duart Castle (the current Maclean stronghold).
When she enters and runs up the stairs, she finds a horse’s-hoof candelabra
dating from the time of the Charge of the Light Brigade (equine martial episode),
and under it a medal commemorating Lord Baden Powell (a very chief scout). |
| 5 |
The helicopter flies across the Sound of Mull towards McCaig’s
Tower (often mis-named McCaig’s Folly, hence dotty) in Oban, an unfinished replica
of the Colosseum in Rome. Had she not run out of time, Annie would have stood
with her back to the main entrance, counted the arches and found the treasure,
a gold pendant, in the 17th arch. |
