They look as if they are somehere near Ineos Grangemouth, but I don't think this fits in with your other clues.

You're the wrong side of the bridge there. Go east.

Good try, but no. Much more frivolous.

Does the "I" stand for Inch ? Ignore above as Squiz has asked it. Island ?

Rockhopper, he says it's not Inch Garvie unless there is a better Gaelic spelling for it and Charles wants Innis Garbhach


If not, how about Gull island...an alternative name for The Isle of May?

Correct picture, but it is Inch Gnome or Gnome Island, proper name Swallow Craig, lying just off Inchcolm, not Inchgarvie.

Now you've stolen my thunder with the pic I'll let the two of you fight it out for who goes next. :shock:
