Queen's View, Loch Tummel

Perthshire's most famous view for good reason — a long straight loch pointing west to the perfect cone of Schiehallion, with layered wooded hills falling away on both sides. It's a compositionally gift-wrapped scene: a modest climb-out over the birch and pine gives you the loch leading the eye dead-centre to the mountain, and autumn colour along the shores makes it sing. Late afternoon and sunset are ideal because the light comes down the glen straight at you and rims Schiehallion. The official viewpoint parapet gets busy and is a Forestry and Land Scotland visitor site with a paid car park, so I'd walk a short way along the forest track to launch from open ground clear of the crowds rather than over the packed railing. Wind funnels along the loch axis, so expect it to build in the afternoon; keep the drone on the near side of the glen for shelter. There's no airport FRZ anywhere near — Perth is ~40km southeast and Pitlochry has no airfield. Tay Forest Park, no drone byelaw. Keep clear of the visitor centre and any low-flying birds of prey working the ridgelines.
