WMO03105, Islay, Port Ellen, Scotland
55 40 53N 06 14 59W
Altitude 17 metres
Estimated Class 3, fails Class 2 on 17.6% of 30m – 10m annulus, limit 5%. Perhaps I have been unfair on the perimeter road area but 5% is much smaller.
UHI, local runways otherwise none.
I was surprised at this result after a first glance, devil in the detail. In reality this is coastal, windy so UHI is not likely to normally be significant.
WMO03100, Tiree, Scotland
56 30 00N 06 52 58W
(56.50001018774803,-6.880803487104119)
Altitude 9 metres
Estimate Class 1. [ Suspect enclosure hardstanding, see Llanbedr article although may be different, TBD ]
UHI, none. Tiny from nearby airstrips, maybe sometimes.

49 12 35N 02 11 39W
Altitude 84 metres
Estimated Class 3, fails Class 2 on >10% road, perimeter road and building within 30 Metres, limit 10%. (roads come to 11%, didn’t bother measuring building, which is indistinct)
UHI, local airport, otherwise minor, fairly densely populated island off French coast. Perhaps air conditioner and radio transmitter in adjacent building.
WMO03923, Glenanne No.2, Northern Ireland
54 14 13N 06 30 14W

Provisional estimate Class 3, fails Class 1 on hardstanding (council refuse site) or unstable (gardens, hedges) >10%, limit 10%, Class 2 on high hedges and unusual topography within 30 metres.
UHI, none.
Google Street view is available. As a help, the useful road is to the NW.
WMO03092, Peterhead Harbour, Scotland
57 30 09N 01 46 27W
Included for completeness.

WMO03088, Inverbervie No.2, Scotland
56 51 07N 02 15 57W

57 04 33N 02 50 28W
