SKYDRONAUT...

For nearly 20 years, Scotland's Glenfinnan Viaduct has been indelibly associated with the Harry Potter movie series, the most successful in the history of cinema.  The bridge which carried the Hogwarts Express has turned this small town in the Scottish Highlands into a major tourist destination.  Skydronauts used a drone to give us a beautiful look at this landmark, which was constructed at the turn of the 20th century and was considered a major infrastructure investment in the Highlands.

Glenfinnan

Albacross ...

The Scottish town of Glenfinnan was famous long before its viaduct became known as the Harry Potter Bridge.  That's because it was the scene of the opening of the Jacobite Uprising, the attempt by the Stuart family and its Highland clan allies to depose the Crown.  In August, 1745, he stood on the shore of Loch Shiel and raised the Royal Standard.  Both the monument constructed to commemorate this historic event, as well as the viaduct, are on full display in this drone video by Albacross Imaging.
