Took a wee wander to the start of the Scottish Highlands the other day!

Lovely flight. Progressing up the Glen like that gives the urge to see further

Beautiful yogi,  brings back memories as a kid we stopped by a stream carrying melting ice and snow off the mountains and drank from it,  it was amazing.

Yeah, but it was very cold and I had ventured to the Glencoe approach before finishing up at Glen Orchy as well. Will wait until it is a little warmer. Only problem then is that the tourists descend in great numbers and I really prefer solitude.

Solitude is preferable, for sure. Undisturbed droning.

Beautiful. How do you do it, no cars, no people, no animals?

Very beautiful landscape. Of course it would be even better in 4K :-)

Cannot remember if I shot it in 4k or not. I am new to this hobby but I selected HD out for youtube to see if my laptop would run it. (Laptop very old, like me).

Ah! but if you look carefully you should spot my car and also a little Motorhome in a layby.
(Out of bed at 4am and on the road for 5am). Possibly the sheep were still asleep.

Been a while since I managed up there, buchanty is wonderful in August when the salmon a “loupin” up the falls. Might venture up tomorrow if the wind n rain give me a bit of a break.
No need for me to venture to far, this is basically 1/2 mile from my house.

yogi053, I was wondering where the folks were, and agree, nice to get out without them, and do some nice calm solo flying, which I think your speed
was just right for me.  Nice scenery, so that is where some of my forbearers came from.  Thank you for sharing.

All I can say is, "to be only half an hour away" from that then you're a lucky person indeed.

Scotland has some fantastic scenery Bob, and when/if I get better at flying I hope to post better results on here.

You post - I'll gladly watch

Lovely Scottish landscape.    Nice to have bagpipes in the background music.

It's not meant badly either. I only mentioned it because then the video looks even more brilliant.
Are you in your 70s like me?

Thank you. Would love to have had 'Highland Cathedral' playing, but copyright and all that......

Indeed I am Pinarek.

I would love to see you do another video of this same path when it starts to green, then in summer and fade them all together. From this one to summer.

I am old, but if memory allows Mobilehomer, I'll try and comply.

I think that would turn out lovely. You ain't old. Just your shadow is old, like me.

Incidentally, I owned a 5 berth Motorhome for 9 years  and toured Gt. Britain (didn't get to Ireland North or South) Also visited France, Netherlands, Belgium and Germany. Gave it up though as the roads in Scotland especially got too busy with tourist traffic from the European continent. There are quite a few roads (especially in the highlands) that are single track with passing places to allow oncoming vehicles to pass by or allow following vehicles to overtake. Most drivers followed the road etiquette, but I'm afraid the continentals tended to travel in 'convoy' so it always seemed to be me a 'singleton' who invariably had to reverse quite a way if they 'overshot' a passing place. It ceased being a pleasure to drive the Motorhome anymore so sold it. Just for information, google 'Pass of the cattle Scotland' and let me know what you think. It is on youtube as well. I took my vehicle over that road. Absolutely brilliant views!

Hello there yogi053. Good day and thank you for posting this cool aerial video that you have filmed and created. Great work and keep flying.

Can I just say a big WELL DONE for the correct use of Great Britain.

It's a pet peeve of mine whenever I see the UK Olympic team etc referred to as Team GB when it is quite clearly Team UK.

I always wonder why the NI athletes haven't complained. They are competing for a team whose adopted name specifically excludes them.

Maybe there's a diner detail that I'm not aware of (please put me out of my misery if this is the case).

But GB is a geographic entity and UK is a political entity.

UK includes NI, GB does not.

Your selection of GB specifically because you didn't make it to NI is to be applauded (though it really shouldn't have to be, I think you'd agree)

Rhapsody in yellow. Thank you!

I knew someone wold pick up on my terminology and I don't mind. I strive to be correct and I understand about the areas of UK, Gt. Britain and the Britsh Isles. I too had a pet peeve of seeing the Northern Isles of Orkney and Shetland stuck in a box off the coast of Aberdeen on maps.

Nice video but the music you selected was the best. I enjoy listening to the bagpipes

Not everyone would agree with you Suren, but of course I do. Then again, I am biased being a Scot. I have heard the bagpipes being referred to as Cats squealing inside a bag being tortured. lol.

Wonderful video, thanks for sharing!!

You're very welcome yogi.     Having Highland Cathedral would have been great  but I do understand the copyright laws and infringement penalties.  

Spent some time in Scotland split between Holy Loch and Thurso while I was in the Navy.

Hope you have a great weekend and keep on flying.

Downtown, your reference to the Holy Loch brought back a very poignant memory for me. My Dad and 2 others were rowing out to a boat at anchor when the dinghy  they were in, capsized. My Dad a non-swimmer was rescued by a liberty boat from the USS Proteus but unfortunately my brother -in-law, a strong swimmer lost his bearings and perished. This was in 1961 so I guess long before your time.

For sure before my time in Scotland.  Sorry to hear about your brother-in-law.  I spend a lot of time swimming in the ocean and scuba diving so I know how easy it is to get disoriented.  

I did enjoy my time in Scotland and look forward to returning some day for a vacation.
