🎥 'I joined a National Geographic cinematographer to see how he captured Scotland's complex beauty from above'
. I have been invited to St Andrews to get some sort of understanding of their process – and to do some fun stuff in the sky., the UK has strict rules governing drone piloting, dizzying regulations covering everything from maximum flying heights to proximity to airports to the sobriety of the pilot. Watson has all this stuff memorised, part of the reason he is so rarely prone to accidents.
For Europe From Above, the drone pilot’s favourite scenes were shooting around the Queensferry Crossing, capturing vertiginous shots of safety engineers working at lethal heights above the Firth of Forth. “I even felt a bit of vertigo just watching them through the drone’s camera,” Watson says.
As classically dismal as the weather is, the helicopter pilots don’t hesitate in taking us into the sky, quickly finding a comfortable spot between the rainclouds and the yawning fields of Fife below. Eventually, we come to mighty Glen Coe, where suddenly we are flying between the peaks, sharing the sky with wisps of forgotten cloud. Bursting out into Scotland’s ostentatious west coast, sea lochs then stretch below us, reaching like crooked fingers into the nation’s belly.
