Allnabad, Sutherland - Added to Historic Buildings in Sutherland North and West, Scotland

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

Emptiness, Sutherland…

10 miles along a single-track road, on the way to Broch Dun Dornaigil, literally in the middle of nowhere, almost as far from civilisation as can be found in the UK, lies a ruined crofthouse…

The only sign of man - apart from the road - yet blessed with amazing views, I wonder what life would have been like here in the past, hard for sure, but a pace of life slower and more connected with nature than we currently have as a society…

Nearby, the Strathmore River cuts a gorse-lined gorge on the way to Loch Hope, in the shadow of Ben Hope, descending via some amazing and little-known falls - sadly we weren't in a position to visit the falls on this trip, but net time we will make sure to do so…

Car parking is roadside, there are a few spots where it is safe to do so, TOAL anywhere you see fit, but do check that EGR610 is inactive before flying - on this ay we arrived here at 315pm, and the FRZ was inactve from 3pm.

The originator declared that this location was not inside a Flight Restriction Zone at the time of being flown on 29/04/2025. It remains the responsibility of any pilot to check for any changes before flying at the same location. Landowner permission may be required before taking off.

Nice video. Interestingly, this land is owned by Scotland’s richest man - Anders Povlsen

Thanks…

Yes, I had heard that Anders owns much of Sutherland, and I believe safeguards it from development quite rigorously, whether by design or not…
