Hi my name is Gary I live around the Edinburgh area Scotland. I travel all over the place with my job as an Electrician. Last week I had the pleasure of going over to Kirwall in Orkney. I had a brilliant 3 cracking sunny days and needless to say the drone came out. I have been flying for 8 years now and have a few DJI drones. But this was taken from the latest 5.

Hi @Gazzafaleith and welcome to Grey Arrows :wave:t2:

Looking for recommendations of places to fly? Check out our interactive map on Drone Scene and please feel free to add locations of your own too :smiley:

Have you seen our Members Map? You may find some members living near you.

Feel free to add yourself to the members map too!

Flying a drone is great fun but sometimes you feel the need to have a purpose for doing so and the Challenges category provides some great reasons for you to fly.

There are regular challenges which are open to all, that attract members of all abilities. Support, advice and constructive criticism is freely available; still photography, video and the techniques for editing both are involved in the challenges. Suggestions, for subjects or for complete challenges, are always welcome - take a look in the Challenges category for more information.

We’re a well established club with many knowledgeable members so it’s very likely that any issues you come across will have been discussed here before. Our discussion forum has very powerful search features which should help you find what you need but if you get stuck you can post a new question in the Questions & Answers category.

And finally, if you are new to drones and wondering what it’s all about, have a look at Resources for a beginner.

Welcome once again!

Hi from Fife. Get yourself added to the Scotland group by clicking on the three lines at the top right > Groups > search for Scotland > click the Join button.

Nice pics. I need to get across to Orkney and the islands. 20-odd years I’ve lived up here and the closest I’ve been to it was doing the NC500 on motorbike last year.
