Hoxa Has 2nd World War Coastal Battery, Scapa Flow, Orkney - Added to Castles and Fortifications in Scotland

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

Land owner permission requirements unknown.

Hoxa Head is about 4 miles down a single track road from the village of St Margaret's Hope on South Ronaldsay. Drive down the road past the Tapestry gallery and shop - well worth a visit, the work is superb - and then park up in the free car park and walk up the half mile to the battery at the tip of Hoxa Head.

Site is very exposed on clifftops so watch the winds and there are lots of seabirds in the area, some of which - Tern's and Oystercatchers especially - will mob the drone if you get too close to their nests, hence the reason I stayed at a reasonable height…

Round the headland, about 1/4 mile away is the First Wolrd War Balfour Battery, another site to visit in the area, I shall pin that once the footage is posted,

The originator declared that this location was not inside a Flight Restriction Zone at the time of being flown on 28/06/2023. It remains the responsibility of any pilot to check for any changes before flying at the same location.
