Default Mystery shrub

Can anyone identify this shrub for me please, planted by the previous owners? It's growing in full sun in a very windy location, and stands about four feet tall. It's just going over now (in lowland Scotland).

Many thanks

Laura

Sorry but you need to repair the link as I get is:

"Oops... there's nothing to see here. Either you do not have access to these photos, or they don't exist at this web address. Please contact the owner directly to gain access."

Could not see a shrub only the "Laura in China" collection of photos after a
bit of trying.
Either the link is wrong or you haven't made the photo "public".

I can see the pics in the album 'Mystery shrub, Fife' but I don't know
what it is. So probably something really well known!

no trouble viewing it here, the full link is
https://picasaweb.google.com/1018997...hrubFife?authu
ser=0&feat=directlink#5641140310704133170

It is called "mystery shrub, fife" and is indeed under "Laura in china",

I have one very similar, but like Laura did not plant it so I hope
someone who can see the picture will tell us what it is.

I agree that is a likely candidate.
I was able to see the first link OK.

The nature of the flowers look like it could be a variety of buddleia, it also has similar flowers to ceanothus but if it is a recent photo i doubt it is as they flower in the spring. Could well be a buddleia.
