Where can I fly my drone in the UK and get £5,000,000 Public Liability Insurance cover? Welcome to Drone Scene!

Castle Roy is an 12th century fortress built by the Clan Comyn on a small glacial mound to the north of the modern village of Nethy Bridge. In 1420 the whole area came under the stewardship of the Clan Grant who are still the clan of this area today. The castle is a simple, irregular 4 sided stronghold which has been largely unaltered over the centuries and is one of the oldest unchanged castles of its type in Scotland.

There is plenty of parking but it can be busy at times. The site is now owned by a local trust who have carried substantial works to preserve the Castle, as it stands for future generations and to maintain it as a free, all abilities, visitor and education centre. As such, if you visit please feel free to take some change and make a wee donation for their efforts. Although permission was not needed I asked anyway, it meant I could fly from the site instead of the car park. The steward on site was very helpful and enthusiastic, I was told to go ahead and fill my boots, sometimes it pays to ask.

Land owner permission obtained.

Huge industrial remnants spread over about 4 square miles and about 1500ft.

Park at the marked area on the map and its about a half mile walk to the edge of the quarry on good paths, then you have the quarry opening up in front of you. Main paths very accessible, although some are steep, other areas to explore will require some mobility and fitness.

Lots of drone flyers about - mainly walkers with DJI MINI's...

Also a very exposed site, high winds were evident when we visited...

Land owner permission not required.

From the East pier you get good views of both the beach and the harbour. Walking around the harbour there are lots of photo opportunities of the town and marina as well. Even the seagulls seemed friendly.

I flew from the cliff tops as the beach is in the SSSI. Good coffee in the beach shack. Even on a sunny day it wasn't crowded, so a good spot to take the family.

I don't believe permission is required to fly your drone here. As long as you have got the correct drone licence for the drone type you fly then I don't believe you would have a problem.
There is plenty of parking spaces at the beach car park (Joss Bay) There is a large field adjacent to the Lighthouse where you can takeoff and land your drone safely.

Great location and even more stunning footage can be captured during sunrise and sunset.

Built in 1845 this is a classic form of smock mill. TOAL a bit tricky as the mill is next to a school so weekend flight when school is shut is the best bet

Some of the best beaches and views in the world can be found in the far north of Scotland, along and near the Scottish North Coast 500 (NC500).

Coldbackie is a small beach, at the mouth of the Kyle of Tongue, sheltered behind the Ravvit Isles, and is found just before you arrive in Tongue from Bettyhill and Borgie. The beach has stunning white sands, edges with craggy rocks and is bathed in crystal clear turquoise waters, what is not to love!

Take a moment to stop if you can, the viewpoint layby is worth a few minutes - just to soak up the views - whatever the weather!

There are pylons in front of the layby, so take care of hitting the wires, and the path down to the beach is steep and slippery, so best only attempt if you have good mobility and decent footwear...
