Loch Doon Reservoir - Added to Lakes, Lochs and Reservoirs in Scotland

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

Loch Doon Reservoir, near Dalmellington, East Ayrshire.

This trip was on the 15th October 2025.

Where I flew from there were no flight restrictions, in fact it was a launch point for may of the Canoests, Kayakers.

There are advisories not to swim as there are strong currents in this Loch, doesn't stop the hardy swimmers though, there are plenty.

The pin location has space for amount six, vehicles, but across the road, there is also a car park that would easily handheld handle another ten.

In one of my images you'll see a building, this is a café, but not cheap.

I'm going to drop another video that I took further up the road heading back to the main road. It was just one of those views that just needed to be flown.

The originator declared that this location was not inside a Flight Restriction Zone at the time of being flown on 15/10/2025. 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.

Great location when the water is low you used to be able to see old railway supports. I understand it used to be used for targets for aircraft .spent a Holliday camped on the shoreline.

Just a great location. Hope you enjoyed it.

Is that what they are, I did wonder. You can see them at 8:20 in the video. I just had no idea what they were.

Thanks for that, much appreciated.
