The sixth part of the in-depth series of Scotland starts with a 3 hour drive up the coast to Keiss Castle which we can't get to except with the drone. I dare use only the DJI fpv because of strong winds. The older castle is rather new, dating from the 16th century and hugging the cliff - one of my favorites.
Girnigoe Sinclair Castle sits on the cliffs as well - the recently preserved and opened castle (some say it is not one but two castles: Girnigoe & Sinclair) is well worth a visit. Very windy still.
We head back south to Hill o' Many Stanes, one of the funniest Historic Scotland sights: a prehistoric place of 200 stones in 22 rows dating 4000 years back - they say there had been around 600 stones when finished.
Well worth a stop is Cairn Liath, the remains of a Broch, around 2000 years old, sitting between the road and the beach.
Dornoch Cathedral was founded 1150 - and closed that day.
Clava Cairns are burial chambers between 3.500 and 4.000 years old.
Finally Culloden Viaduct, a railway bridge a few miles from the famous battlefield.
Drones: DJI FPV (GoPro 10), Rekon 5 (GoPro 6), DJI Mini 2, additional footage by Osmo Pocket.
Very impressive footage! The castles, ravaged by wars and weather and the dramatic, cloudy sky generate a breathtaking atmosphere. And of course I like the Culloden Viaduct with your daring fly-through manoeuvre!

Thanks a lot. Glad you liked it. Scotland is really beautiful.

Incredible video! Beautiful footage of waves crashing to the rocks. Thanks for sharing this with us, Depp. Keep it up. Cheers!
I usually find FPV shots annoyingly swoopy, but these were actually really nice. I love how close you get to the ground at 1:20. Skilled pilot! Very well done.

Thank you.
My sentiments exactly. What I try to go is "cinematic fpv" in contrast to freestyle where people fly crazy figures.
