[size=15.008px]Day 3 of our recent April trip into the Highlands and an eagerley anticipated if long day, along the ‘road to the islands’, through the Ratagan Pass to Glenelg, a visit to the Bernera Barracks, the Glenelg Brochs (2 of them at any rate, footage to come in a forthcoming video), then over the Skye Ferry (more forthcoming footage) through the pass of Kyle Rhea and then over the Skye Bridge - too windy to fly nearby but I did get some fotage of it from a bit further away - and then on to Eilean Donan Castle (footage already posted) before returning to the cottage - a long day through stunning country and with some interestingly changeable weather - along with winds to match!

[size=15.008px]Apologies for the somewhat bumpy footage in places, although it looks warm and sunny, it was about 5C and blowing a gale, so when flying over the barracks I was buffeted by the wind rising over the walls - thats my excuse and I am sticking to it

A lovely castle with a view.   

What a majestic place that must have been, with fantastic views over the water.  Great job in the prevailing wind

2002. Seems even more overgrown than then. Lovely weather, nice moves, not the worst place for a small fpv. Can you enter the building? Looking forward to the broths!

No access to the building or even to the back of it for photos, unfortunately - I guess the condition it is in means a chance of falling masonry... Shame, it could be much more, like the barracks at Ruthven just off the A9 - although they are much easier to visit...

Brochs will be coming soon, I have a LOT of footage to process, just sorted ones for the next 3 days to upload, Glengary viewpoint, Glencoe Lochan and Rannoch Moor, and starting on another edit now..

Shame - wouldn't want to crash a drone there, then.
Looking forward to the new uploads.

Stunning views.    What a great location for the barracks.  Shame it hasn't been maintained a bit better.  

Another great location!

Stunning scenery
