I've edited out this post because i garbled it completely and have added the following one.

`..for the wealthy so they could have a walk without getting wet in the rain' (Kev) and `for exercise when the weather was poor' (Gloria) are part of the answer. But what is the correct name for such a building and whose was it, and where? I'll give a clue - it was principally for one person.

An ambulatory? I'll take a guess at Horton in Gloucestershire as it's the only one I could find.

I found this. It looks as though Kev is right and it's the ambulatory at Horton.

Spot on! An ambulatory built for Sir William Knight so that he could enjoy the views over his fish ponds which were appreciated for their aesthetic value as much as for the provision of food.

What and where?

I’m thinking that it’s not the Big Pineapple on the Sunshine Coast of Queensland.

Dead right Cathy!

I’m pretty sure I know this.

Is it in Scotland?

Oh dear.... I think she knows. Yes Ma'am, it is in your northern kingdom.

I don't know where exactly, it just seemed vaguely familiar!

Ah, vaguely familiar isn't good enough. The question is 'what and where'.

It's a summer house in Dundee I believe. It's owned by the National Trust now.

Built in 1761 by Earl of Dunmore.

That sounds like the one I think it is Gloria

It's obvious that you both have it. See THIS for a full description.
My problem with things like this is that I can't help wondering where the money came from to build them. I know, 'Politics of envy' and all that but I still think it's worth considering.
Next one?

What is it and where?

An old railway line?

My son went camping there this year so I'll say nothing for now.

So they are not Bridges in Madison County then

Yes Gloria.
No Cathy, but what a nice thought. Bit closer to us than that. Kev knows you know.....

Is it in Scotland?

Is it somewhere in the Lake District or Scotland, no idea really, just having a guess?

I know, have camped there a long time ago.
