ST PETERS SEMINARY CARDROSS SCOTLAND

FLYING MY MINI 4 PRO AND DJI AVATA AT THE ABANDONED SEMINARY
St. Peter's Seminary is a former Roman Catholic seminary near Cardross, Argyll and Bute, Scotland. Designed by the firm of Gillespie, Kidd & Coia, it has been described by the international architecture conservation organisation Docomomo International as a modern "building of world significance".[1] It is one of only 42 post-war buildings in Scotland to be listed at Category A, the highest level of protection for a building of "special architectural or historic interest".[2][3] It has been abandoned since 1987, and is currently in a ruined state. In July 2020, the site was given to the Kilmahew Education Trust Ltd who plan to reinstate the educational elements of the Seminary Complex after conservation and restoration

A gem of a building abandoned in the woods. Love the FPV shots inside

Brilliant flying! What a playground for your skills😃😃 great to have the information included. I flew there last year but was too chicken to fly through. Clipped the handrail upstairs landing it but no harm done. Great video!

[@johnnymac26]

Brilliant work mate looks amazing have seen this spot a few times now i defo need to visit

[@jimthorleydronefootage]

Cheers, Johnny, and to think that's rated as A listed building but although a difficult flight was enjoyable

[@AMDronephotography]

What an amazing building. I’ve never heard of it and had to look it up to see what it looked like before being abandoned. Great choice of music, works well with Avatar footage. I might have to take the plunge and get one, they look so much fun.

[@jimthorleydronefootage]

Cheers buddy yeah you wouldn't be disappointed in an avata new or old best fun to be had with a drone. Enjoy the rest of your day 🙏

[@DroneShowLive]

Fpv in there would be fun 🤩

[@Faroutamazingadventures]

First comment, first like and first watch 😊😊😊

[@jimthorleydronefootage]

Thank you, my friend. Enjoy your day 🙏

[@Steve53]

Jim an interesting place from the past, the Catholic church must be awash with money if they can let it get in that state, back to the video Jim great flight outside and inside the old St peters seminary, all that graffiti makes the building very interesting as a aspect of flying a FPV drone, great tracks Jim 👏👏👍😎.

[@jimthorleydronefootage]

Cheers, Steve, yeah, it must be loaded, mate, and while it was a stunning building when new, it's a monstrosity. A listed building now, you have a great week, buddy 🙏

[@TheMadmacs]

great stuff, it looks really hard to fly but you got some great shots. surprised the gate was open

[@jimthorleydronefootage]

Cheers mac yeah it had its challenges. The gates are open, but someone has felled a tree right in front of them I'd love to see you do that with your skill it could be awesome mate 👍

[@TheMadmacs]

@@jimthorleydronefootage hehehe trees are much more forgiving than bandos, but yeah, my brain was thinking shots to go along with that wee tree at the top of the tower.

[@jimthorleydronefootage]

@TheMadmacs yeah you see, hehe, plus you could fly faster inside. I'm still a newbie

[@TheMadmacs]

@@jimthorleydronefootage yeah man just dont push it, i have a zero crash policy, just wait till you have enough confidence, i always recommend practicing big bank turns and emergency stops, one gives you confidence that you can fly precisely, and the other teaches you to recover from messy visuals in the goggles. when you can do that you will be willing to try more dodgy stuff. split s's are the next thing to get confident on.

[@jimthorleydronefootage]

@TheMadmacs we must have the same insurance mac I'm a zero crash policy too lmao

[@Qwackers-video]

Fun flight, it’s nerve wracking doing it though isnt it.

[@jimthorleydronefootage]

Cheers, it certainly is my goggles kept steaming up, but it was a fun flight all the same. Enjoy the rest of your day mark 🙏

[@ScottishDroner]

Its a great place to visit as a photographer but never done it with the drone yet

[@jimthorleydronefootage]

It was certainly hard flying inside because no gps with it being a concrete roof but hiding away in a beautiful spot outside no bother

[@ScottishDroner]

@@jimthorleydronefootage that could have been an interesting flight

[@DavidLorenzoFlorida]

*Great place for Bando flights. But, wow, what a waste of construction effort. Hoepfully something is done with the structure.*

[@jimthorleydronefootage]

Cheers David 🙏

[@makeithappenvideos]

interesting

[@jimthorleydronefootage]

Thank you 🙏

[@mavicairflyeruk]

nice flying jim 👍is ATTI mode the same as manual mode. i know the drone goes into atti mode when it doesnt have gps

[@jimthorleydronefootage]

Cheers buddy yeah very like manual mode drone just wants to go wherever it wants so got to control every movement back and forth 👍

[@bakertam]

Ohhhhh dive gap heaven and the gates are open I bet that's been the death of many a FPV quad

[@jimthorleydronefootage]

I bet it has. I am not good enough yet for bombing through, but getting there 👍

[@Thedroneborneo87]

What building is this, friend?

[@jimthorleydronefootage]

It's a old Catholic seminary where they used to train new priests but has been abandoned a very long time 👍

[@Thedroneborneo87]

@@jimthorleydronefootage ok bro

[@piratidisogni6907]

Nice flight 👏👍

[@jimthorleydronefootage]

Thank you. Enjoy the rest of your day 🙏
