I have just added this to the map of places to fly your drone at Drone Scene:
Romantic Ruins… Ardvreck Castle, Assynt, NC500
Another iconic and photogenic location in the far Northwest of the NC500 is the ruins of Ardvreck Castle, which, despite the wind and rain showers, was a popular spot for folks to stop and take in the atmosphere.
There is a free car park and some layby to stop in, the walk over is flat, but fro the layby includes fording a stream. The Castle is in a very ruinous condition, but seems to be a magnet for folks to visit, so was pretty busy on a cold, windy and wet Sunday…
I flew the AIR3, as it handles the wind better than anything else, and had about 9 minutes flight before the rain approached and we retreated to the car for some lunch…
Please note, this is sited within EGR610 MoD Military Low Flying Zone, so you need to check whether the zone is active - on the website - or ring the RAF Low Flyng Hotline to check before flying your drone here.
