Kylesku Bridge, Lairg - Added to Bridges in Scotland

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

The iconic Kylesku Bridge on the NC500, remote and isolated, but so worth the effort to visit.

There is a free car park at either side of the bridge, allowing a safe place to stop, soak up the view and a good TOAL spot with great VLOS - although you are on the edge of EGR610 RAF Operational Low Flying Zone, so do check out the RAF Low Fly timetable - Military low flying: RAF operational low flying training timetable - GOV.UK - before flying, and if in doubt ring the RAF Low Flying hotline - 01489443100

The bridge itself is an imposing concrete edifice, but the scenery is what makes the location amazing, the rapid tidal flow beneath the bridge, and the contrast between the brutal concrete and the mist-softened mountains is something quite amazing to see.

The originator declared that this location was not inside a Flight Restriction Zone at the time of being flown on 27/04/2025. 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.

Stunning as usual. I will see what I can do when we go to Shetland next May. I seem to have got my 4k going okay now on my Mini2. I would like a later one, but may not be allowed !!

Just a quickie from the garden, I do it for training really.
