Search flights from TRE to GLA
Isle of Islay
Famous for its peat and distilleries, you can spot the rugged southern coastline of the Queen of the Hebrides.
Mull of Kintyre
The famous long peninsula stretching toward Northern Ireland, often visible across the North Channel.
Isle of Arran
Often called Scotland in Miniature, providing a spectacular view of the jagged granite peaks of Goatfell.
Ailsa Craig
A striking volcanic island in the outer Firth of Clyde, renowned for its granite and gannet colonies.
For the best photography, afternoon flights provide excellent lighting on the peaks of Arran. Keep your eyes peeled for the distinctive 'Paddy's Milestone' (Ailsa Craig) rising sharply from the sea. This side typically offers better views of the Northern Irish coastline in the far distance on exceptionally clear days.

Aerial views of the Ross of Mull and the distant peaks of Ben More in the Southern Hebrides.
Paps of Jura
The three distinctive conical quartzite mountains of Jura dominate the horizon shortly after takeoff.
Kyles of Bute
Observe the narrow, winding sea channels separating the northern Isle of Bute from the Cowal Peninsula.
Loch Lomond & The Trossachs
On a clear day, look north toward the gateway to the Highlands and the southern boundary fault line.
The left side is best during morning flights to avoid sun glare from the south. Watch for the ferry crossings in the Kyles of Bute, which look like tiny white streaks against the deep blue water. In winter, the snow-capped Paps of Jura are a particular highlight.
