Book the earliest flight possible for the best chance of clear morning light over the Hebrides. Since the Twin Otter aircraft has high wings, every window seat offers an unobstructed view, but seats 2A or 3A are particularly good for photography. Keep your camera ready for the unique beach takeoff, which happens in seconds.

Glasgow Cityscape
