Hi All. I just booked a weeks holiday in Castle Douglas, Dumfries and Galloway at the end of May. I don’t really know the area. If anyone can recommend places to fly / film with the drone, or sites to photograph with the still camera I would be very grateful.
Thank you!
We have just come back from Gretna Green and i was so tempted to take the drone, Visited the Caerlaveroch castle and would have loved to take a few cheeky shots of that from the air, but took shit loads with the osmo pocket 
Anywhere round loch Ken, the Solway Firth
In addition to Loch Ken there is also Loch Doon & the ruins of Castle Doon (if you look closely you’ll see my first Mavic 60 foot up a pine tree on an inaccessible rocky promontory!). Clatteringshaws Loch has a dam with an outfall, & some great views.
Much of the coastline is worth viewing, and, although it’s a bit of a drive, Portpatrick on the West coast is worth a visit, with it’s old harbour.
As has been mentioned, Caerlaverock Castle is spectacular, & should definitely be on your list.
Plenty to see & do, which is why we’re going back twice this year!
Thank you for your replies. Much appreciated chaps. I’m taking notes and researching as we go!
You lucky devil, Its a fabulous place to go to and It’s a drone flyers playground up there. Have a mooch around Kippford Loch or a trip to Gatehouse of Fleet. CD (Castle Douglas) and Dumfries is a lovely town, everyone is so friendly and welcoming, typical Scottish hospitality. With so much around to film you’ll be spoilt for choice. I’d live up there in a heartbeat if I could.
Cheers Brian, all noted! I’m really looking forward to the trip I have to say.
