    On the Horizon from left to right one can see The Isle of May, which is approximately 8 km off the coast of mainland Scotland. It is 1.8 kilometres long and less than half a kilometre wide. The island is owned and managed by Scottish Natural Heritage as a national nature reserve.  The Bass Rock is   just right of centre and is a volcanic crag in the Firth of Forth that towers 106 metres above sea level.  It is home to a large colony of gannets.  To the right is the North Berwick Law, a volcanic plug. The summit bears remnants of an Iron Age hill fort, and the ruins of later military buildings that were once used by lookouts in both the Napoleonic Wars, and in World War II.  Since 1709 the law has been topped with a whale's jawbone.
