I think it goes without saying, but the scenery in Scotland is gorgeous and perfect for drone footage.  Many of the castles have strict drone rules while they're open to the public, but some of the more derelict ones (less touristy) are fair game.  Most of the castles close by 5 or 6pm, and although you aren't allowed in the grounds you can still fly a drone around the properties after closing hours.  Other than that your biggest contenders are rain and high winds.

Stunning footage indeed! Some great eyecandy in that video. I recognized of few places in the video from my trip to Scotland some 20 years ago. Thanks for sharing!

Great video!  Especially the foggy scenes.  Just great.  Purposefully left mine home when I went to Scotland last year, fearing a hassle bringing it in to the country.  No issue or questions about it when you entered the UK?

No problem at all getting through customs in Scotland or Ireland!  Best rule of thumb is to just ask someone if you're not sure about drone policies.  Most places will have signs posted if there are restrictions.

Wondering if anyone has any tips on getting good orbital shots of static objects, i.e. the Old Man of Stor in this video.  I've been trying to practice getting a steady yaw speed but I wonder if there's a trick to have the Spark focus on a static object while orbiting, kinda like the active track mode but still controlling the drone with the remote.  

Thanks for all the kinds words!
