Bearing in mind plate tectonics, does that mean that it flew over the bit of land that now constitutes Skye, wherever it was then, or that it flew over the part of the globe where Skye is now, but probably wasn't then?

From the article 'In the Middle Jurassic period, Scotland was part of an island in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean with a sub-tropical climate with beaches and lagoons where the pterosaurs probably liked to live, he explains.'
