Coldbackie Beach, Sutherland, NC500 - Added to Beaches and Seaside Resorts in Scotland

I have just added this to the map of places to fly your drone at Drone Scene:

Land owner permission not required.

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…

The originator declared that this location was not inside a Flight Restriction Zone at the time of being flown on 23/08/2024. It remains the responsibility of any pilot to check for any changes before flying at the same location.
