Nice piccie Shetlander, must be summertime in that photo
Worth pointing out that directly to the left of the aircraft just out of the photo is the lighthouse. Approach for ATP, ATR 72 and 146 (never done it in the Saab but assume t'would be the same) is to approach with the lighthouse and the arrowed hill to the RHS of the aircraft, heightwise usually slightly above the lighthouse but by the time you reach the hill the aircraft is about level with the crest of the hill, sharp left and touchdown. Islander can probably do a straight approach over the crest of the hill
