Hi Francis,
Unfortunately, the photo is not very clear but I would agree with Alan that's its a sparrowhawk - I live in the North East of England and I get Sparrowhawks and Kestrels in my garden all the time. What was this bird doing in your garden? Just sitting watching?
A quick google - Common and widespread, with a Scottish population of around 8-12,00 breeding pairs
