South Ronaldsay.

No... :P

Okay, further clue, if you were to drive from your last guess, South Ronaldsay you'd need to get a ferry (or on most days, two) to reach it.

Oh, and it's not on streetview, I just checked to see.

It's been a week since I posted the WAI, so I'm going to offer up a "reduced to clear" clue, using the above clues and guesses, I think this will go fairly quick*:

"When I flew to this place, it only took me a couple of minutes."

*In the event of no correct guesses, I'll reveal all tomorrow...

Bingo! A set of "sky hooks" are on their way to you as a prize! :lol:

Yeah, it's Papa Westray - If you look at the map below, the photo was taken just away from Holland farmstead, looking east. The buildings on the distance are the Church and the main settlement, and beyond is the Holm of Papay. For those of you into streetlights, the ones in the picture are the only ones on the whole island!

18 minutes... not bad! :lol: Is there anywhere you've not been - I'll find a photo of that! :wink:

I thought I ought to put an easier one in this time, I found it when I was looking for the last one of Papay.
