I'd do it manually - make a line with the Measure Distance tool, then estimate the compass direction/bearing by eye.

About four miles into the North Sea. I’m not, I’m in Cellardyke, in an old cottage overlooking the Forth. I have a little patio with a low wall, beyond which is the water crashing onto rocks. It’s very relaxing. Although the ceilings are very low, which keeps disconcerting me. It’s a real bolthole.

The O2 Centre/Millenium Dome?

Or the Yul Brynner statue in Putney?

The big plastic dome that James Bond drove his speedboat past.

Oh, OK, the Slaphead-Dome.

That was actually shot in Yeovil.

I’ve grown to like the O2 Millennium Dome. I hated it for years.

I didn't really like the Millennium Dome until I flew back from New York over it in 2003 whilst about to land at Heathrow and it looked a bit iconic.

I don't seem to have seen it for ages in any media. Does it still exist? You only ever see inside of "the O2".

GM has me once again in the sea, about 1100m offshore from a little seaside place called Balintore, on the Moray Firth.
