Maryhill Locks, Glasgow - Added to Rivers and Canals in Scotland

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

Land owner permission requirements unknown.

Maryhill Locks, built 1787-1790 for the Forth & Clyde Canal. There are five locks in this flight, which is known as the Maryhill Locks. Numbered 21 to 25, they assist the canal in its descent into the Kelvin valley, and each lock is connected with its neighbour by an oval basin. The purpose of the basins was to permit boats to pass each other whilst going through the series of locks.

My TOAL spot was on Bantaskin St. outside Scottish Canals property. Although I've put land owner permissions not known, Scottish Canals do have a drone policy. Details at - Use of Drones on Scotland's Canals - Scottish Canals

The originator declared that this location was not inside a Flight Restriction Zone at the time of being flown on 14/09/2021. It remains the responsibility of any pilot to check for any changes before flying at the same location.

I want to fly here @Drumsagard, but there are no parking or take off and landing markers. Would you be able to add some to the map please?

Hi @1AlanM My TOAL was at the side of Bantaskin St. just off Scottish Canals property, marker now added. This was 3 years ago and if I remember correctly there is only room for one or two cars.

I think its an automatic message, generated when I clicked the ‘I want to fly here’ button - cheers anyway.

BTW the link to Scottish Canals drone policy is now a 404

the new policy seems to be much less restrictive for hobbyist, non-commercial flights
