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

The Long Man of Wilmington is an impressive artwork from the middle ages drawn on the side of the South Downs. This particular location is a driveway for a large farm gate, allowing you to park and take off in full view of the Long Man, making it easy to keep in visual line of site. Be aware that another car may pull up and park near you; this is on a quiet country lane but passing traffic will also occur. This spot is more than 150 m from residential buildings so it may be better for larger model drones. There is also a full car park around 200 metres away shown on TOAL.

I thought long and hard before adding this as a location as it is well off the beaten track and it will take some effort to get to, but you will be well rewarded by the absolutely stunning scenery. It is possible to hike to the falls but it's easier on a bike - last year I used an ordinary mountain bike (7hrs) but this year on an eBike the round trip took around 3 and a half hours (including half an hour for snack/photos/droning at the falls. The closest parking is at the Bridge of Tilt car park in Blair Atholl, which is also the nearest point for shops/food/toilets. Midge repellent is also useful!

You can take a walk up from the House of Bruar just off the A9, or there is a small lay-by in the hamlet of Calvine for a much shorter walk, though the lay-by is often occupied by the speed camera van. Follow the road down under the railway bridge and there is a marked footpath for 'Struan Old Kirk'. The path takes you down along past the River Garry waterfalls, across a field and over to the old church. You can either retrace your path to return, or continue on up the road by the church to make a loop. Nearest food/drink/toilets are at the House of Bruar.

Stockingfield bridge was built recently to enable cyclists and pedestrians to be able to move from the Glasgow branch to the main branch without leaving the canal and crossing busy roads.
The striking design of the bridge is a far cry from the initial proposal which was to have a male figure designed by Andy Scott (Kelpies) holding up the bridge. This design was later simplified to to the current design.

Permission for non-commercial flights is not required. Scottish Canals request that lock chambers, people and boats are not over flown.

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...
