Drone Assist is looking to make money, they are trying to become middle men for getting flight permissions. Use Dronescene from GADC, its free and the best one out there…
There are no FRZ over the area, as landowner they can specify no TOAL from their land, but they cannot prevent overflight. I took off form the roadside and flew early in the morning before anyone was around without issue. That video has been featured on Alan Titchmarsh’s Sunday morning show in the Ode to Joy segment

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!

Hello and welcome @Steviecam. I’m in the Highlands. Fairly new to drones also, more into photography than video. I love the Outer Hebrides, would love to get out there with the drone.
