The Quirang, Trotternish, Skye added to Iconic Landscapes and Ancient Sites in Scotland by AlbionDrones on 03/11/2023

The iconic Quirang - a landslip that is still moving towards the sea - on the Trotternish Peninsula on Skye. Lots of amazing rock formations and stunning views over to the mainland and on to Lewis and Harris - if the weather plays ball and the visibility is good.

The site is an SSSI, for the geology, and although Golden Eagle are in the area, we found it was reasonably safe to fly.

For our flight we parked at the cemetary and walked up onto the hills, staying outside the SSSI while also affording good VLOS.

Lots of walkers, so be aware of them and do not overfly unles your drone is sub 250gm.

The site of a horse leap over the Findhorn River, to escape being captured, and a beautiful gorge with small waterfalls...

Burgh Castle, Great Yarmouth (By Sammie99)

Burgh Castle is best viewed from the air in order to get an idea of it's scale and layout. On top of that the surrounding countryside and river is just incredible. Across the River Waveney you can see the Berney Arms Windmill and Red Mill; neither of these are easily accessible from the ground. TOAL from the mown areas around Burgh Castle. There is limited free parking near the church or paid parking onsite. Mornings or evenings are the best time to visit, and outside school holidays as it gets busy.
