Lewis & Harris View, Totscore, Skye - Added to Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty in Scotland

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

Land owner permission not required.

Amazing far reacvhing views over Skye and the sea to Lewis & Harris - and most of the rest of the Outer Hebrides.

The A855 Staffin road that follows the coast around the top of the Troternish Peninsula - lots of places to fly the drone, sadly the day we went this way it was very windy, so we couldnt fly in the more exposed places, but managed on the other side of the Isle.

Several layby’s on the A855 Staffin road that will afford a reasonable TOAL point, although do watch out for Golden Eagles flying around - we saw one later that week!

The originator declared that this location was not inside a Flight Restriction Zone at the time of being flown on 22/10/2023. It remains the responsibility of any pilot to check for any changes before flying at the same location.

We flew from the garden of the cottage, but that wont be possible unless you are renting it… Either fly form the Lewis Viewpoint on the main road, or follow the signs down the dirt track road for Totscore and stop before entering the gate to the cottage and fly from there… Make sure you choose a day that isn’t too windy and enjoy…
