Description
Video shows areal shots of two castles in Scotland made with a drone. The video is set to traditional Irish Music.
The first castle is shot on a bright and brisk day with a considerable amount of wind that can be seen on the water forming choppy waves. The castle is in considerable disrepair and is more ruin than castle. The castle sits on a small island with a partial land-bridge. The drone first flies towards the castle across a great lake, then circles the castle slowly showing the detail of the ruins in a close-up shot.
The second castle is one that is still habitable and also sits on a small island connected with a man-made bridge. The castle has more modern fortifications and you can see many tourists about. The weather is much more temperate on this day and the lake is almost like a mirror at times, reflecting the green hills of the loch on which it stands. The drone once again flies towards the castle and then circles it to show it from all sides.
