Closer to the Irish mainland maybe, and if you are willing to omit 1,186 miles square of Scottish islands in the form of The Outer Hebrides then absolutely Sir, it is closer to Ireland
162 miles from St Kilda - very much Scottish
198 miles from North Uist - in the Outer Hebrides
267 from County Donegal - Ireland
Now I'm just on the wind up and god bless wikipedia for my figures, but I'd say defo Scottish.
We'll be tasking an aircraft carrier to protect it shortly!!
(When I say "Aircraft Carrier" I mean Scottish Aircraft Carrier ... and an island one at that ... ie Think 50 ft trawler with a flock of angry - yet well trained - Sea Gulls on board)
