At least it's not some remote Scottish landscape.  ;D

I can see why they don't want bikes on that path. After all, that gap is scarcely distinguishable for the average Londinium pothole..

Berneray?

Well done. Fantastic beach. Four miles of sand and sea with no one on it. In the middle of summer!

Here's another -

Close, but you're looking in the wrong direction.

Having investigated, I'm going to stick to my guns.
I can't find anywhere else that is sufficiently high to reach the clouds, doesn't have islands etc in front of it, and can be reached in 1h 20m from Berneray beach



I'll wait for the answer with interest

You're right. I had meant to post this picture of Pabbay -



but posted one of Toe Head. Sorry about that. Both pictures were taken from the same spot about 500m west of where your blue lines meet.

That would have been easier - it's recognisably the same island as on the beach shot. Having said that, Toe Head is on the beach shot too, just poking round the end of the dunes.

So, which station is this?
