The beautiful light of the gloaming just after sunset, here seen over Machir Bay in April 2024, watched from Kilchoman beach. Some low clouds on the horizon, illuminated by the sun from below the horizon. Also note the plane high up in the sky on the top left, probably on its way to America.

A stunning April afternoon with clear blue skies on the west coast of Islay, looking south from a low angle at the northern end of Kilchoman beach in Machir Bay. The passenger in the plane high up in the sky on their way to cross the Atlantic must have been enjoying some great views over the west coast of Scotland.

To answer the question from the title of this post: No.

This is a view from the Loch Indaal coastal path in the very last light of dusk/gloaming. Some stars high in the sky, below them the service plane from Glasgow approaching across the Rhinns of Islay on its way to Islay International Airport at Glenegedale. Below it towards the right you can make out the light of the Loch Indaal lighthouse.
