Titanic Quarter
Direct views of the historic Belfast shipyards, the yellow Samson and Goliath cranes, and the silver-clad Titanic Belfast museum.
Ailsa Craig
A striking uninhabited volcanic plug in the Firth of Clyde, famous for being the source of curling stone granite.
The Forth Bridges
The world-famous red cantilever Rail Bridge and the modern Queensferry Crossing are often visible as you cross the Firth of Forth.
St Andrews
The 'Home of Golf' is clearly visible along the Fife coast, featuring the historic university buildings and famous Old Course fairways.
The right side is best for urban photography. Keep your camera ready about 20 minutes into the flight for the Forth Bridges. In winter, fly during the middle of the day for maximum visibility as Scottish daylight is very limited in December.
