Drone Castle Video

Many thanks to Ali for producing this amazing aerial video of Balintore Castle last week. On the planned filming date of Tuesday 5th May, it just tipped down. Towards the end of the Wednesday, the weather cleared enough that I suggested Ali could take his chances. Thankfully, it turned into a beautiful sunny evening, and at the end of the video you can see the low sun illuminating the tops of the surrounding hills.

    It's just got to be so awesome to walk around in there at will.

      Yes, the restoration has got to the stage where you can walk around perhaps 75% of the castle's interior. In fact one of my friend flies his drone inside the castle as the spaces are big enough and there is no wind! :-)

    I have been keeping track of your blog for the last few years with a mix of fascination and deja vu having gone through a similar baptism of fire myself (albeit a wee bit smaller). I remember going through Balintore Castle several years ago and though derelict picked up the smashed remains of your wind direction indicater, well the "east" bit of a slate dial. I have some items to pick up from taylors auctions tomorrow (I live in the far north) and will bring it with meto drop by on the off chance you are in residence. please let me know if you are around I should call by with aforementioned artefact around 1pm my email is mfresson@archialnorr.com and congratulations on work to date. ps it wears you down, I know from experience, but it will be worth it when done. regards Mark Fresson

      Hello Mark, I will have to leave the castle today before 1PM, so will miss you sadly. However, I have sent you an email and we can hopefully liaise.

    Hi David - I loved that drone viewing. I will have to come and visit again. Do you perhaps need a resident cook foe some weeks in the summer in exchange for an inspirational place to write - just a thought!
