How to Play
To participate, just make your guess in the comments section for each photo. Guesses will be held until the end of the contest, when they will all be made public. Anything and everything is fair game for getting a correct answer. Each contest will last one week, starting on Friday. Each Wednesday at 0:00 hrs GMT a hint will be published. If you submit a correct answer before the hint is out, you'll earn an extra point, so submit your guess as soon as you have an idea.
Oh well, even without the hint I recognized it immediately as one of the Outer Hebrides, in fact the northern part of Barra.
The hint links to Barra Eoligarry Airport (EGPR), a.f.a.i.k. the only Beach airport in the world, situated in the Traigh Mhòr bay, at the bottom of the picture.

North end of the island of Barra, Scotland which is located at 56 59N 7 28W. The curved beach at the bottom of the picture is the airfield for the island, with runways on the sand – underwater at high tide.
Thanks for the hint – it made the search very easy!

Do we have a Scottish theme? It is the runway on the beach on the island of Barra in the Outer Hebrides. It was your hint that gave it to me.
