Flyinhg the western Isles of Scotland July 2010

[seymore]

I have just come back from a lovely two weeks on the western Isles of Scotland. I flew about a dozen times on about six of the days I was up there. Lots of nice easy places to take off, fantastic views and from what the locals say I am first pilot any off them have seen in the areas I was flying.

The local Museum and historical society on Berneray had hardly any aerial views of their Island and were thrilled with the pictures I took , so I made a few flights when it was just a little too windy to do a decent out and back flight, and just photographed the island from the air for them, with all the old stone ruins of ancient settlements.

I took an inflatable Kayak and my kitesurfing gear so the holiday was'nt just flying and I was just lucky with the weather until the last two days when it was drizzle and rain.

Great pictures Seymour - I love that part of the Scottish coast, especially the Cuillin mountains.
