In the above link you can see the squawk code change to 7700 (emergency) at 12:40 UTC about 100 miles east of Aberdeen.

As the aircraft reaches the Scottish mainland it begins to divert to the south.

Eventually lands at Prestwick (EGPK/PIK) at 13:25 UTC (1425 BST).

Aircraft still held by police at PIK. BBC link http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-22920907

Caught that one myself.I also followed it on Flightaware,where, a half hour after it landed,was still showing 'On it's way!On time' even though the flight statistics were showing that it was travelling at 0 mph!
