Carstairs state mental hospital scotland

Hi a while ago i posted asking for advice regarding flying and taking photos/video of the state mental hospital at carstairs scotland, and after double checking with most of the apps, i cannot find any no flight restrictions over or near the hospital, so i have taken video and photos of carstairs and thinking of putting it on youtube, regardless of the moral issue if any, am i missing any frz over this place which i have not been able to find , i have attached a photo of which i have taken

Secure hospitals don’t like to class themselves as prisons, hence why there are no FRZ’s around them. They may show as where operation of your drone may raise security concerns etc.

Hi yeah I agree, they are hospitals so don’t have frz, to be honest it is more secure than hemp Edinburgh. I can understand privacy if I did this during the day, but looking at the video I have taken I can’t see anyone also I didn’t fly over the fence, so I am tempted in posting

I flew broadmoor hospital not far from me about 18 months ago, like yours no restrictions or wasn’t back then not checked recently, however I did call them to let them know id be doing a flight nearby out of courtesy to which they was absolutely fine with, but the security I spoke too asked if I didn’t mind not flying over or getting stupidly close to the psychiatric hospital “ he wasn’t telling me what to do “ I respected his wishes due to the sensitive nature of the location / place :+1:
