.. a complete U-turn over our clear skies. Was heading due SSE and in a short space did a total u turn and headed back NNW. It was at max altitude (as they are up here). Why would it do that?

wouldn't a jumbo take about 50-70 miles to U-turn? (almost out of horizon) or did he handbrake it? was he chasing the Eurofighter you saw or going after the UFO?
PS - what is Ceiling height for a jumbo? report him for bad driving if you noted his number

It probably was a 50 mile u-turn. Its a big sky up here. He was heading for Edinburgh and now he is heading straight back towards Iceland?
We only get a few planes per day here.

Sure - many Jumbos land at EDI just behind the UFOs - EDI has such a long runway for the aliens and huge planes
Are you sure it was a jumbo doing the handbrake turn or Nelly the Elephant?
Was it bright pink?

In this current climate it is slightly worrying. I would hope that it was a military plane.

Also another slight problem with your UFO white military sighting is that a jumbo would have to be dropping from ceiling height over Highlands to even attempt emergency landing @ EDI's short runway, and it certainly wouldn't handbrake the motor north towards a shorter runway in Iceland.
Think you saw a seagull, I know they look big to tcheuchters - 'a hoose wi wings'
Oh god - Elgin Centre is gonna get terrorised
Are you really President/Gavin?

I'm gonna hop the next commuter Jumbo Jet EDI-RYK on that busy route and just hope it doesn't do aerotatics over Leather's house - getting to 37000 feet over highlands will be an achievement in itself
