Corpach Wreck / Old Boat of Caol + Ben Nevis - Added to Coastal Scenery in Scotland

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

Land owner permission not required.

The Old Boat of Caol - aka Corpach Wreck, with Ben Nevis behind, a well loved photographic location - especially when the weather is right and Ben Nevis is visible - but an interesting place for a quick drone flight - as its foreshore there is no requirement for permissions.

Take the A830 Road to the Isles from Fort William, and then about 3 miles on take the left turn to Corpach Station, follow the road around to the Caledonian Canal and then walk over the locks and along the path to the left for about 200metres, then turn onto the beach after you pass the stream.

Quite often busy and very exposed - as you can see the wind was gusty and bouncing my MINI3 Pro all over, but even so, the views are worthwhile capturing - just make sure you have more than 3 minutes flight time in your batteries!

The originator declared that this location was not inside a Flight Restriction Zone at the time of being flown on 22/04/2023. It remains the responsibility of any pilot to check for any changes before flying at the same location.
