EML Sakala (M314), a Sandown-class minehunter operated by the Estonian Navy, passing Greenock on the Firth of Clyde. The vessel is participating in Exercise Sea Breeze 23-1 (named Alba Breeze in recognition of the temporary host nation), a multi-national military exercise being held this year in Scotland, instead of the usual host nation of Ukraine. This vessel had served with the UK's Royal Navy as HMS Inverness (M102), until she was decommissioned in 2005, then transferred to the Estonian Navy in 2008.
