Is this a Golden Eagle?

Hi guys,
Took a drive up to Fortingall yesterday with the Mrs. While we're looking at the Yew tree I heard a number of birds calling. Looked up and saw what I thought was initially a buzzard, then another, then another, until I counted 7 different birds.
They seemed to be in a commotion over something and were almost "mobbing" another bird like you see crows do with buzzards.
I took some photo's and on closer inspection it looked to my untrained eye like a golden eagle, but I'd be interested to see peoples thoughts on if its an eagle or not??
