There was another bird floating dead in the water today, just out from ardentinny hotel. Looked similar but was too far out to see properly.
Thanks John, yes it does look like a Guillemot. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Common_Guillemots_Reykjanes_Iceland.jpg
Possibly a young guillemot or arctic skua?
