Rua Reidh Lighhouse, NC500 - Added to Coastal Scenery in Ross and Cromarty South West, Scotland

Where to fly your drone in the UK
1

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

The second proper day of our NC500 trip, an early start and a long drive along a narrow, winding single-track road to the iconic Rubha Reidh Lighthouse.

Conditions were interesting, the late October sun had just risen, making lighting difficult, and it was blowing a hoolie - on the edge of flyable with the MINI3 Pro - but as my AIR3 had been damaged the day before, I only had one drone that could possibly be used - and thankfully Mighty Midge did a sterling job!

Watch out for the wires, and note that the Lighthouse is operated as a BnB and Wikipedia states the owners dont like people visiting and have blocked the road, so TOAL this side of the gate and keep a reasonable distance to prevent annoying them..

The originator declared that this location was not inside a Flight Restriction Zone at the time of being flown on 27/10/2025. 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.

Thanks hon, skills only come from practice, find somewhere you can fly - away from the coast if needs be - and then fly as often as you can, confidence does eventually grow - although windy conditions still raise my anxiety, especially if I am flying somewhere that I couldn’t recover the drone if it were to come down such as over a river or the sea…
