It looks gorgeous! One of my mother's cousins lives on the Isle of Arran, and when I spent six months in Glasgow during my Ph.D. I had the good fortune of being able to visit a couple of times. Your house looks quite similar, up to the peak behind it! Their house has a view of Goat Fell (highest peak on Arran) in one direction and the sea in the other.
My position here in Belfast is permanent, though I have to get through probation which is a three-year period. I had my first probationary meeting this spring, and I think I am on-track; there were definitely no major complaints about what I was doing. The one thing that was brought up was that I should go to more conferences; as it happened I managed to go to one -- giving an invited talk no less! -- within a month of that meeting. And I definitely want to go to more conferences, anyway, so that isn't a hardship...
