Wow, what a find this was. My old neighbourhood from the age of 5 until I left home. My old primary school, demolished & rebuilt where the old red blaes football pitch used to be. Bearsden Academy demolished & rebuilt on the old St Andrews College. The hill that I used to fly my kite on behind Shaw Hospital, not covered in houses. Great shots of Stirling Drive, Whitehurst, Iain Road, Milvertone Avenue & I even picked out my first home, 2 Laurence Drive. Great bit of filming, you should go back again & cover more of Bearsden as this upload only really covered Mosshead, Castlehill, Bonnaughton. Thank you, that brought back a lot of memories :)
the biggest issue you have with flying a drone is a safe take off and landing you cant do that on a street corner i need a green space. and from that green space i am limited in the distance of travel. so if i dont have some were to take off and land i cant take off and land 😉
@@LittleCameraTour I understand. I moved to Bearsden in 1970 & back then Hungry Hill was exactly just that, a hill. Now it's covered in houses & the same goes for the land that Shaw Hospital looks down on. The hill north of the new Bearsden Academy was a wood. Basically if you drop a hankie in Bearsden someone will build on it. The only green spaces that are left are the golf courses & I'm surprised that Bearsden Golf Club has managed to survive. I would have put money on that land becoming an extension of Castlehill.
Excellent film footage as always, actually quite hard sometimes to identify exact locations, plus what kind of stood out for me is the lack of actual road traffic, I would have imagined most households would be two cars, but that's not obvious in the filming ,.
yeah looking down can be disorienting from the drone. well driving passed the cross today took me about 20 mins to get threw so many peeps were on the move prolly why there werent as many cars
tota class mate i love urban and country views
