Hi Lindell,
 
Sorry no, it is a Hobby. Id features are the whitish marking all the way up the side of the head, the very mottled reddish front, the fairly long tail, long thin toes and the rather slim build. Also the posture is different. There may be enough to suggest it might be a young Hobby, from the reddish edges to the wing feathers.

Is this a young Peregrine Falcon?  It was spotted down the Lane a bit from the Callum Brae NR entrance.
