A quick flight on a daytrip to the Borders with our DJI MINI 3PRO, saw the tower atop the distant crags and knew we had to try and capture it...

Fatlips Castle, Minto Crags, Scottish Borders...

What a sweetie! Didn't know that one. Put it on my list.

Once you cross the bridge from Minto turn next right and take the road between the river and the crags, bout 1/2 mile down there is a turning to the left, stop there or go on to the field boundary abut 300m down and fly from there... Good VLOS and no danger of people... Should be good atm with autumn colours...

Lovely rural views.   Definitely worth the detour to film the castle.  Great job.

Might take some time for me to be back in Scotland.

Very nice video!

Thamks, I think this was where I started to get the hang of the drone and capturing the footage
