This might be worth looking out for, passing up the west side of Kintyre (Tuesday not Wednesday), even if they show Kintyre as an island on the map.....!

I spotted that too, I expect they'll go up between Gigha and Jura so those mid-west won't see anything, do you think we'll see anything from the MofK Lighthouse?

The MOK Lighthouse would seem like a good high vantage point, or maybe even take a day trip to Gigha...

As suspected most of them were on the horizon, but a few did pass between Gigha and Kintyre, very fast, you could hear their engines for miles !!

Not my kind of transporation, too bumpy for me, wouldn't want to travel after a full breakfast !
