Another view from the departing plane taken by my late mother at the end of her last visit to Islay. The view goes along the Big Strand in Laggan Bay out towards the Oa penisula. The North Channel behind it, Ireland somewhere in the far distance under the clouds.

A view of the northern end of the Isle of Gigha, courtesy of my sister Imke from a flight to Islay almost a decade ago. The Twin Beaches nicely visible towards the front left.

Admittedly this could be anywhere, so you have to trust me this was over Loch Gorm on Islay. I believe it’s some kind of RAF jet on a training exercise, that’s all I can work out.

Update: It’s a Hawk Trainer, thanks to Chris for the information.
