I remembered that lobby photo but could not place it until @tracer bullet mentioned Miami. Now back to the Great Outdoors.

This is somewhat iconic so it might be easy. Let's find out.

It's not a bit of Scotland I know, which cuts it down quite a bit. Those cliffs are really weird. Looking more closely at them it looks like they're some kind of conglomerate, which pretty much rules out anywhere north of the Great Glen as it's all metamorphic up there from getting squished against the Appalachians (or earlier openings/closings of what is now the Atlantic). Rules out most of the west coast too, whereas the east coast has more sedimentary. But the vegetation looks quite northern.

So somewhere up Aberdeen way? (which as it happens is one of the bits I don't know well)
