I have just added this to the map of places to fly your drone at Drone Scene:
Dumfries House is an impressive Palladian country house in East Ayrshire. It is owned and maintained by The King’s Foundation and sits in a 2000 acre estate which also has impressive gardens and an ornate maze.
Although not in an FRZ at the time, it’s always worth checking as temporary restrictions have been known.
Contact the estate for permission to fly from their property (I can’t see any good way to get decent images of the house and gardens without this). When I flew there I had to submit a flight plan (with risk assessment) and have £10m public liability insurance.
There is ample parking on the estate, but they’ve just introduced a £5 fee. If you live locally you can apply for a free annual parking pass.
The originator declared that this location was not inside a Flight Restriction Zone at the time of being flown on 13/08/2022. 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.
