@kuhrmarvin
The legendary Eilean Donan Castle is one of the most famous Scottish Highland attractions thanks to several appearances in Hollywood films, like Highlander and James Bond. The mystical aura that surrounds this massive landmark makes a visit feel like a trip into Scotland’s palatial past — so gather up your gear and start planning your visit! (before visiting, check and follow local drone regulations and permit requirements)

This drone image of the Eilean Donan Castle was taken next to the Eilean Donan Coffee Shop. To get to this location, I recommend driving. First, park near the coffee shop (57.274847, -5.513642) and then, reference the GPS coordinates, which will be right next to the coffee and gift shop. I launched my drone up and west to get this perspective of the landscape and castle.
