I saw this bird today in Loch Ryan Scotland, I can see from the bill shape it's not a red throated Diver, would I be right in thinking it's a black throated Diver, any help appreciated.

It's a Great Northern Diver.

It's a Great Northern Diver.

I was thinking it might be that when I could not see any white flank patch

Black-throated shows that!

I think that was Baldiin’s point Aeshna.

Re-reading, yes I agree. Slightly mis-interpreted statement as I whizzed through.
