That waterfall descends into Loch Glencoul, but yes, the name eluded me also. Dolphins too, sheesh - I was angling towards some weird egg-laying critter from Australia before I hit upon the whale, and still wrong. Thank goodness for Monopoly 😆

That one certainly was a stinker, @Mi-Amigo, and no doubt 👍

[Mi-Amigo]

Thank you @Cleoriff and @pgn 

Pleased you enjoyed the quiz and well done on your awards.

As to the waterfalls question, this was taken from the new quiz book which I had for Xmas and is rated as "very difficult". I admit that this is probably the hardest Geography question ever asked on WRQ - but, as this was the 200th WRQ Quiz, thought I would include it as a challenge.

With WRQ returning to "normal" [if there is ever such a thing as a "normal" WRQ], I promise the questions for Monday`s WRQ will not be rated "difficult", but hopefully will be fun.

I was lucky enough to visit the Steall Falls... turns out it's not the highest but certainly one of the prettiest
Thanks for the quiz @Mi-Amigo and well done everyone!

Well not my questions this week although I thought Mayfair and should have written it down,

trying to be smarty😎

Thanks @Mi-Amigo 

Well done everyone.

Knew it would be one of the purple streets but chose the wrong one.

Some of those questions were fiendishly hard @Mi-Amigo ! Looking forward to some "easy" ones on Monday.

[Mi-Amigo]

Thank you @TallTrees and @gmarkj 

Pleased you enjoyed the quiz and well done on your awards - given how fiendish some of the questions were.

Hope you and everyone else likes the categories for Monday`s WRQ and will find the questions a little easier.
