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

Land owner permission not required.

The White Caterthun is one of the most spectacular iron age forts in Scotland, occupying a rounded summit overlooking Strathmore from the chain of hills that includes the Brown Caterthun to the NE. The fort consists of a massive dry-stone wall, with a well or cistern in the middle. The light-coloured stone wall gives the White Caterthun its name. The Brown Caterthun on the east, consists of a series of earthen embankments, hence the name Brown Caterthun.
The views from the top are nothing short of spectacular and well worth a visit. Small car park at the bottom which can take half a dozen cars and a short 15 minute walk to the top. Keep your eyes peeled for Peregrine Falcons, one took quite an interest in my Mini2 until I landed it!!!

The originator declared that this location was not inside a Flight Restriction Zone at the time of being flown on 29/12/2023. It remains the responsibility of any pilot to check for any changes before flying at the same location.
