Hello Margaret,
 
No reason to doubt that you likely have heard a Scarlet Robin, they are fairly common. I am not sure where you would think they should have moved on to. They are not long distance migrants. I don't know well Callum Brae but can't think of any good reason why that should not be a place they have moved on to (or been all winter).

Please correct me if I am barking up the wrong tree.  Yesterday on Callum Brae, I heard, clearly and repeatedly, a plaintiff call that sounded to me like a scarlet robin.  Having my MP3 player with me, as you do, I played the scarlet robin call, and the two were identical.  Since most of the birds seem to think it is spring already, shouldn’t the scarlet robin have moved on by now?
