Hi Condor68, heading South offshore past Aberdeen was 177702 C-17A RCAF Lossiemouth-Edinburgh, it could have been this.
Cheers.

That's exactly what it was, 177702 flew down the coast at about 2,000' before turning inland, routing straight over Leuchars and then into Edinburgh.
It would have been in the Montrose area at around 13.10.
This season, I'll be mostly wearing........A THONG!
