Air 3 Grangemouth oil refinery, Scotland.

[Coconut Island Drones]

Grangemouth oil refinery : A drone tour. Ahead of it's imminent closure and loss of many jobs I thought it important to capture the site as it is before refining ends and the site is turned into a storage terminal. Grangemouth is most commonly known for the oil refinery as so many tens of thousands of people have been involved there at one time or another over the 100+ years the site has been there. Sadly, like many other industrial business's it will soon be no more. Hope you enjoy the video.

Nice shots, especially the night time views.
I worked at the smelting works at Avonmouth up until they closed and was allowed to take shots in and around the plant while processes were still live. Unfortunately, consumer drones hadn’t been thought of then so just stills.

Thank you. I worked here for many years and thought it was important to capture it as a working refinery before it's gone forever.
The place at nighttime is just incredible to see, like something out of Blade Runner.

A great way to document an incredible industrial complex. Very well done. I also liked the nighttime shots. It's the sort of 'dark satanic mills' scene from the past.

Thank you. I love to document things as once they're gone they're gone forever.
