The beginning of October saw the largest deployment of multi agency marine assets and personnel from a variety of organisations in Scotland this year. Organised and lead by the Maritime Coastguard Agency this Counter Pollution Exercise took place over 3 days 2 miles offshore outside the Port of Aberdeen. I was lucky enough to to be contracted to capture the exercise by both drone and ground camera. The professionalism and seamanship of all participants was a delight to watch as was the Airmanship from RVL Aviation, who flew at 20 feet above the sea on their dispersal runs.

Sunrise over the Dalwhinnie Distillery. The site for the distillery was chosen for its access to clear spring water from Lochan-Doire-Uaine and abundant peat from the surrounding bogs. Set in splendid mountain scenery, Dalwhinnie is the highest distillery in Scotland with a visitors centre at 1,154 ft (352 m) above sea level. The highest distillery is actually Braeval, in Glenlivet at 1,163 ft (354 m)
