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 should have been under that
stone but she announces that it seems to have disappeared and asks for
Kenneth to read it out, having presumably been informed off-camera that there
is a problem. [We later learned that the clue had been taken away by a tourist
who saw the programme and wrote in.] |

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). |

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. |
