Preston Tower - Added to Castles and Fortifications in Northumberland, North East

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

Preston Pele Tower was constructed between 1392 and 1399 during a time of ongoing conflict between England and Scotland. In the early 15th century, the tower was one of 78 similar structures located in Northumberland. Over the years, it was owned by various individuals, including Sir Guishcard Harbottle, who died in battle against James IV during the Battle of Flodden in 1513; an event that paved the way for Mary, Queen of Scots’ ascension to the Scottish throne.

The originator declared that this location was not inside a Flight Restriction Zone at the time of being flown on 15/12/2025. 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.
