This is the stair at Inveraray Castle. I have been here. The older woman stopped on a landing half way down the stair. The other girl propped her phone against a planter that sits in an opening to the Main Hall of the house.
Here is a photo from the lower landing looking back to where the camera was propped and the woman stopped to diddle with her phone. I have no doubt she saw the phone sitting there, but most likely she thought, "Nonna my business why that phone is there." Like most people she was engrossed in what she was doing and not why the phone was there
Also, this is the only stair to the upper level so it's heavily trafficked. The home is still privately owned and the family reside in the other half of the house.
Nope. You can see the moment at 0:09 where she looks directly at the camera (i.e phone) which I'm sure was in selfie mode so she could see herself in it. Only then does she start futzing about on her phone. It was entirely intentional.
she had probably just been desperately tapping her phone to open gmail, stopped at the landing, looked at the camera, then realised she accidentally started calling her old boss from 2009 and decided figuring out her own phone first was more imperative
Even if it was (which is doubtful) you can still see her directly look at it more than once (from 0:09 to 0:12) and only then stop right in front of it.
