I have just added this to the map of places to fly your drone at Drone Scene:
I can't pretend John O'Groats is much more than a tourist trap, but it is, at least, a famous one.
It used to be where the A9 ended (it goes to Scrabster now), and is synonymous with charity events from bike rides to wheelbarrow pushes that start in Lands End and travel the length of the mainland to John O'Groats.
There's a famous sign post (at least they've stopped charging people for photos with it now), a couple of nice coffee shops, and The First and Last - a hexagonal gift shop that's been selling tat to tourists since my age was in single digits!
There's a SSSI just off the shoreline, but it's for fish fossils on the seabed so not much of a bother for us.
The originator declared that this location was not inside a Flight Restriction Zone at the time of being flown on 12/06/2026. 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.
