So the Forestry Commission Scotland has just released their latest policy on recreational drone flying....:
"Flying drones (unmanned aircraft) as an informal activity or hobby is not allowed on Scotland's National Forest Estate. This is because this activity is often incompatible with responsible access under the Scottish Outdoor Access Code, particularly in a working forest environment, instances where people are enjoying quiet recreation, or where it may impact on people's privacy."
Discuss...., for one I am pretty unhappy. Can't see how it is enforceable, they don't own the airspace above the forest floor, there is the right to roam unlike the rest of the UK and just a backwards, draconian approach.
