In addition, the ESRI imagery doesn't have the distortion around the rocky cliffs and also seems to match Bing further inland where the path comes from, so that should help you.

I had a quick look. The lighthouse as currently mapped sits fair & square on the building outline on OS Streetview. As Grant (Firefishy) rectified these tiles using the full OSGB-02 transform this is probably the most accurately located layer. The coastline as mapped accords with this (probably mapped from OSSV or pulled in from vector data). Therefore I'd pretty much use the current mapping of the path & the lighthouse to align other layers.

    Was recently at the Point of Sleat (Isle of Skye) and as part of
    the Q3 project was going to add the solar panels there
    (https://imgur.com/a/VAE5A0L) into OSM.

    When I check out the area
    (https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=19/57.01809/-6.01793) I notice
    I can also add some detail with the photographed railings so on,
    however it's proven tricky to deduce the accurate alignment here.
    Aerial imagery seems to show the path joining the base of the
    lighthouse on the east rather than the west (as in reality) and
    unfortunately I forgot to take a GPX trace while I was there.

    Anyone more experienced with unclear alignment want to take a
    crack at this one?
