"Back by popular demand"

Substantiate that statement PalenQ. How have you arrived at that belief?

Here's two for you.

8- Swiss location where Lord Byron carved his name in stone. (an easy one but followed by)

9- Landmark in Scotland associated with the prisoner associated with the castle in Switzerland where Byron carved his name. You're only allowed to answer this one if you actually saw it before it disappeared in 1970. Yes, I did.

It gets increasingly hard to ask a question about anything anywhere that you cannot find an answer to with Google.

10- The name of the town/village in Scotland where there is a pub with the same name as the local name for #9 above.

11- The number of the house 11 doors up from that pub, where I was born. Google that! LOL

8 - chateau Chillon?

no clue on the others but thanks for adding some intriguing questions?

#3 -- Delphi?

Definitely Chillon for #8.

12 - Sign on trash bin in Inverness - - fill in the blank:

"Look for Nessie but don't be ________ "

Yes bingo - Delphi for the Oracle of Delphi!

1- Patton is buried in the Hamm Military Cemetery (American) a few kms southeast of Luxemburg City, Luxembourg.

2- Dracular haunts Whitby where I believe Mary Shelly wrote about him.

3- Yes Delphi

4- Broadstairs on the English Channel between Dover and Margate.

5- Pinnochi came to life in Collodi, a small town high above Lucca, Italy - the town now treads of the Pinnochio link.

6- Beau Nash' Sham Castle is in Bath, England or just outside it really.

7- Bannister ran his first sub 4 minute mile at Oxford's Iffy Road Track.

Like I said, it's increasingly difficult to ask a question Google can't find the answer to for you.

8: https://www.google.ca/?gfe_rd=cr&ei=...+name+in+stone

9: https://www.google.ca/?gfe_rd=cr&ei=...ner+of+chillon

Answer in the first hit. Local name of 'the prisoner', the 'man in the rock' which is the name of a local pub in Dysart.

10: Answer is in the same link, Dysart.

Given that, Google streetview will in fact make it quite easy to count 11 houses up from the pub for the house number where I was born.

There's very little you can't find using Google these days which makes an online quiz pretty much a waste of time unless everyone is on their honour to not use Google. LOL

12: Messy.
