I suppose it is but the advice i'd give is to go to a large park or open field and fly on beginners settings before trying anything else. Get to know the controls and get yourself accustomed to the drone code etc. Keep the drone at all times within visual line of sight and dont go too high and always remember the return to home button if it gets a bit scary

Good advice thanks. I run into trouble though when I look from the console to the drone and back again until I reach the stage where I can't find the drone in the sky and panic sets in! I suppose it's just a matter of practice and patience.@@droningonandonandon

Yeah probably a wise decision. Lets hope for peace and tolerance this coming year. Thanks for watching.

I think the lesson is well learned after the speed of light show. 🤠. Thanks for watching and a happy new year to you.

There's a good facebook group called Kirky Legends. You might find someone who knows her on that. Keep me posted! Hope you track her down

Thanks Johnny. Very much appreciated.

Glad you enjoyed it

I've got a new Port Glasgow video coming soon with a closer look at Clune Park. Thanks for your kind comment.

There's a St Johns primary School just off Mary Street/Highholm st its been there since around 1930/31. The original St Johns school was possibly what ended up as the St Johns church halls on Balfour street at the bottom of Highholm Avenue avenue. The site is now a more modern St Johns church hall its been there since the mid 1980s as far as I can remember. Thank you so much for your kind comments, always appreciated.

Thanks for your comments. I remember Mr McGeechan was the headmaster at the time (late 1970's)@@droningonandonandon

Yeah, I get exactly what you mean. Its a shame though that some places have run into such states of disrepair

Thanks so much for your kind comment.

Im sorry you arent happy with the video title. It was a general fly over and one of the first ones using that particular drone. I have a lot more Kirkintilloch videos showing pretty much all of the town. When making the videos, I have to be careful of two things. Distance from myself and the drone (legally it has to be within line of sight at all times) and secondly the length of the video. You're 100% correct though that this video doesnt do the town justice hence the reason i've got a number of videos on the channel showing other parts of the great town in Central Scotland. I'd love it if you had a look and let me know what you think. Critique is always welcome as im always learning and a lot of the Kirkie videos were the first ones I'd made,. Thank you for your comment though I really do appreciate you taking time to let me know your feelings.

In the Rankin memorial hospital or Inverclyde royal? Thanks for watching

Thanks so much for your comment. I lived in Chapelton as a child and although I was there at the time of the 9 arches being blown up by the army, I was too young to remember it. It is a shame that Clyde St and the Glen area of the past ended up being swallowed up by the main road and now whats left of it exists as a decent but not very interesting shopping outlet on the fringe of the town centre. I remember the Glen as a child, specifically a cafe of some sort that my parents would take me too when I was very young. Also the Lithgows social club and the chaos when the horns would go so.

​@@droningonandonandon I lived on the other side of Devol Glen. Spent plenty of time having adventures there. Wondered what it all looked like from above. Thanks for posting.

Thanks for the thumbs up. much appreciated.

Thank you for your kind comments and your reminiscence. Its always nice to read of peoples experience in places I make films from as other peoples stories and memories are always worth sharing.

i Lived 9 Nairn Road, which is gone

Thanks for the lovely comment. I'll take a quick look and check for you. Sorry its taken so long to reply, i've had long covid and not been able to look after my channel as I'd normally do but im back with a vengance now. Delighted to read that you are sharing my video with friends from Greenock and Gourock. The more that see my films the more it encourages me to keep making them.

Yeah its sometimes a shame that places that give us so many memories can be just erased from the landscape. Thanks for sharing with me. I hope you enjoyed the video.

That building is part of the former National Semiconductors. However now its another similar business but on a lot smaller scale as far as im aware. Hope this info helps and once again thank you so much for your kind comments.

@@droningonandonandon Memories are precious to many of us, and I appreciate you're getting back to me on this...I was back one time and the indsutrial park up Larkfield way was where we could get the latest jeans for a few quid, everybody knew someone who worked there, and I remember arriving and the ladies sold me some jeans and they had a wee bit in the back with a curtain where they shortened them while I waited...was a lot more of a community feel back then but love Greenock and surrounding areas Happy New Year and hope you have fully recovered

Thanks for your kind comments about our lovely town. Its become a bit run down and there are places that need serious improvement or demolition but the people and the characters of the town are what make it special before bricks and mortar. Please come back and visit another time.

Je vous remercie pour votre aimable commentaire

Thank you for sharing some lovely memories with me. I'm glad i could help in some way bring those memories back to you.

Thanks for that, not sure what it is but thanks anyway.
