Friday 16 August – Edinburgh to Berlin
We stopped at a coffee shop to spend our two hours waiting. Like at Dublin, they only tell you an hour before the flight which gate you are at. We were sitting near gate 6. We would be leaving from gate 24.

Wednesday 14 August – Military Tattoo day
Tonight, starting at 9pm, we would be enjoying the Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo. A good breakfast was needed – bacon, eggs and toast; all cooked in the flat. While cooking breakfast we could see people walking their dogs on the grass section behind the building. One guy had a good look in initially. When he came back the second time, I waved at him and he nervously waved back – like he had been busted!

Tuesday 13 August – Milnathort to Edinburgh
I was up fairly early and decided I would head down to Loch Leven to test out whether I had fixed the issues with the waypoint mission. I had created a small test over land nearby to make sure it would take photos. Success! With that successful test I commenced the real flight – out and around the castle. Everything went perfectly, I was high enough over the castle to get some great shots. When I got back to Louise’s we had a look at the photos and they turned out pretty good, even if I say so myself.

Monday 12 August – Louise’s Scottish scones, soup, shopping and sightseeing tour
I had talked to David and Louise the earlier night about taking some photos/video with the drone at nearby Loch Leven. There is a castle on an island in Loch Leven called Lochleven Castle. It was where Mary Queen of Scots was imprisoned, escaped and fled to England. Ros and I went down to to the loch. I had set up a ‘mission’ on my drone app that would take photos on one trip halfway around the island and then video on the next trip. It was a 2.2km round trip and would take about 8 minutes according to the app.
