New Pictures - Kinnaird Head Lighthouses & The Museum, Fraserburgh

Saturday 21st January 2026

Some aerial pictures of Kinnaird Head Lighthouse and the Museum up in Fraserburgh.
 
This lighthouse was deactivated in 1991 where it was replaced by a modern built fibreglass structure that's fully automatically controlled in the same year and is the main navigational light.
 
Also on site is the deactivated fog horn, locally known as the "Castle Coo". This air powered horn was built in 1902 and emitted a blast for 7 seconds ever 90 seconds on a cycle.
 

 

 

New Pictures - Aberdeen Waste to Energy Incinerator, Tullos

Sunday 28th December 2025

Aerial Pictures of the Waste to Energy Plant at East Tullos which is used for Non-Recyclables by Aberdeen, Aberdeenshire and Moray Councils.

 

Its been plagued with issues since it opened but a few weeks after taking these pictures it was fulll operational, for the time being at least.

 

As you can see in the pictures its very large and dominant in the Aberdeen skyline, in recently plans submitted by the council there is talks of introducing it to districted heating.

New Pictures - Aberdeen South Harbour and Rigs

Tuesday 16th December 2025

Aerial Pictures of the relatively new South Harbour in Aberdeen which has mostly been used for larger vessels, crews ships and oil rigs getting some work or waiting for there new assignment.

 

I personnally think its a great thing that oil rigs are beginning to be a popular sight in Aberdeen as it continues to bring some work to the local econimy which is desperately needed in the recent year.

New Pictures - Spey Bridge Viaduct Collapse, Spey Bay

Sunday 14th December 2025

A few aerial pictures of this historic Spey Bridge Viaduct Collapse.
 
Built in 1886 this historic rail bridge popular with walkers, runners and cyclists collapsed today leaving it totally unusable and sadly I can't see it ever being repaired to its former glory.
 
It would appear one of the support legs has collapsed and completely gone with another close to having the same fate.

New Pictures - Beach Leisure Centre Swimming Pool Demolition

Saturday 11th October 2025

A few aerial pictures documenting the ongoing demolition works happening at the Aberdeen Beach Leisure Centre Swimming Pool after it closed its doors due to financial issues a few years ago.

 

First opening in 1989 the swimming pool, flumes and the gym facilities served the Aberdeen City for 35 years and its sad that its come to this point.

 

Not flown much at all over the last 6 years and at all really for 3 years but felt this needed documented due to its history within the city.
