Cargill's Leap (By AlbionDrones)

The location of a 17thC Covenanter's escape from the redcoats, a rocky rapids in the River Ericht near Blairgowrie in Perthshire.

Park at the car park and then walk down the steps, and fly from the bridge - currently closed due to storm damage - or cross and walk further along the opposite bank.

Beware the trees and the double cable crossing the river upstream from the passenger footbridge.

North Landing Flamborough Head (By Paul01)

Truly a beautiful part of the UK coastline which can be very busy in the summer months. I was also advised caution flying too close to the cliffs as this is a nesting ground for many sea birds including puffins.
