Hi all UK drone enthusiasts,
In two week I´ll be traveling to Edinburgh to start a six day road trip and I am planning to take my Mavic Mini along with me for non commercial purposes. I already have Air Maps but also have downloaded the NATS’ Drone Assist app so I understand those would suffice for the air transport and regulation part of "check where you can fly".
However I am a bit confused on how National Parks and National Trust work. I understand that NT won´t allow drones to be flown from within the boundaries of their locations although I found this NT map by Zocalo on this thread but I am still struggling with the layers to make it work. And I can´t find anything updated about drones and National Parks, so I am not sure if I can fly them in any, none or some.
To give you a better idea, our not-so-slow-travel route will be:
21&22 Edinburgh - NoFly
22 route that includes The Hermitage, Pitolcry, Commando memorial, Lake Garry, Fort Augustus, Loch Ness, Urquhart Castle, Eilean Doine Castle
23 route that includes Kyleak Lighthouse, Portree, Storr, Rubha Nam, Kilt Rock viewpoint, Quiriaing, Duntulm viewpoint, Duntulm Castle, Uig, Castle Ewen, Dunvegan, The Duirinish stone, Neist point lighthouse
24 route that includes Kyle of Lochard, Glencoe, Stalker Castle, Kilchurn Castle, Loch Lomond & The Trossachs National Park
25 route from Edinburgh that includes The Kelpies, Stirling, Willina Wallace, Perth
26 back to Spain
Do you know how is the situation in any of the above mentioned areas?
Tips, hints, advice and no-no´s are much appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
