Dark Sky Viewing Point, Trumpan, Waternish Peninsula, Skye (By AlbionDrones)

Amazing views over the Minch to the Outer Hebrides - when clear - and stunning coastal scenery of Waternish and Dunvegan peninsulas.

Park in the Trumpan Church Car Park and use the fenced-off area with picnic benches for TOAL, check with anyone else present that they are ok with you flying - it is quite remote, but there were people there on both occasions we visited, none had any issue with the drone flying...

Watch out for the MIDGES! They are fierce and have big sharp pointy teeth, either invest in some SMIDGE (other midge repellants are available) or take a sacrificial tasty snack for them, in my case the husband worked well, they seem to like him and will happily go and chase him, leaving me free to fly...

River Coe Gorge, Glencoe (By AlbionDrones)

The River Coe Gorge is a narrow river gorge running from the waterfall down alongside the main road - A82. It is filled with obstacles, trees, branches, rocks, and waterfalls and rapids, yet it makes an amazing place to fly FPV in a cinematic way.

Park in the layby and walk to the viewing platform, keep to the right and you will have a good view of the gorge entrance, your spotter needs to be nearby too.

If the drone loses connection you may find yourself having to take a swim to recover it as overhanging rock faces and trees will make it difficult for it to autoreturn. I flew about 300m down the gorge, using my AVATA and Goggles2 with the MC, at 300m I had 2 bars of transmission, so turned back at that point.

Be prepared to lose your drone if you attempt this amazing location...
