This is from an Italian website, which uses false colour to show hotspots pf light pollution, and I've extracted our bit. Note all the oil rigs in the North Sea, and bright bits at Dounreay, Flotta and Sullom Voe.
Kirkwall also shows up, as a result of all these solar powered path lights sold by Safeway.
