Stonehaven War Memorial - Added to Monuments in Scotland

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

Land owner permission not required.

The memorial is in the form of a classical temple. Most sources describe it as “round”, though it is actually octagonal in shape. The structure has something of the appearance of an ancient ruin. This was deliberate, and meant to signify the many shortened and ruined lives caused by the conflict.

Access is via the footpath from Stonehaven harbour towards Dunnottar Castle. Land appears to be owned by Aberdeenshire Council, who at the time of flying and according to GADC FOI request response, have no byelaws relating to recreational drone use from its land.

Can get busy with walkers so you need to pick suitable time for least interference.

The originator declared that this location was not inside a Flight Restriction Zone at the time of being flown on 26/04/2024. It remains the responsibility of any pilot to check for any changes before flying at the same location.
