A cold, wet and windy spring day in Glen Shee, yet seeing the moody Scottish Landscape and romantic white Castle from the road called me to fly forth and try and capture the mood...

Not every visit to Scotland is greeted with amazing sunny weather, but we make the most of what is possible, and despite a little drizzle and some fairly strong winds, we managed to capture sufficient footage to make a short video of the Castle and its surroundings, a moody Highland Glen encased in drizzle and looking amazing...

It looked very discrete, almost shy, peeping out from behind the trees. Only when revealed by the drone did it stand out vividly against the green background. Nice work in those conditions.

Thanks... I was pushing it in the conditions, but it had to be done... Was the 4th day of the holiday, and only the 4th flight, so I was needing to get some flights in, and wanted to capture the dreich Glen in its morose beauty...

Agreed, it has a moodiness that is only enhanced by the vagaries of the weather...

In that, you succeeded very well

Despite the poor weather conditions the footage of the castle is most impressive.  Great job of flying and filming in those conditions.

Watching your videos makes me want to take the trip north of the border more and more. My wife, son and I are heading to Italy in August but after that Scotland may well be next on the list

Italy is equally as beautiful, but for me, Scotland is the land of my heart...

Thank you, I guess we each find a style of videography that works for us, mine seems to be sweeping cinematic moves, that work on the larger scale or the smaller scale...
