Amazing drone images capture Dundee and Broughty Ferry landmarks from the air

These amazing drone images showcase some of Dundee 's best known landmarks from the air.

They were filmed by local photographer and care worker, Adam le Grice, with some showing how the city looked during lockdown.

The stunning footage of Tannadice was taken just last week during Dundee United’s match against St Mirren.

The other images are a selection of the 20-year-old’s favourites.

You can see Adam's full set of photos here.

They include a night shot of Dundee from the City Quay, a view up the Craigie Circle, the waterfront, the V&A and Broughty Ferry Castle.

Adam, who was born in Dundee and now lives in Monifieth, studied photography at high school and in college for two years prior to the Covid pandemic.

He uses a DJI Mavic Mini 2 drone which cost him and his dad over £500.

Talking to Dundee Live about the Tannadice shoot, he said: “I've done a couple house shoots with the drone, however I mainly use it for personal use.

“I would like to expand and do more commercial photography over the coming year, now that I have a lot more flight hours and experience.

“My favourite flight that I've done so far has to be the flight at Tannadice Park last week.

“Being able to fly above the stadium and get such a good view of the pitch and the stands, as well as being able to see beyond the stadium was incredible.

“It's stunning lit up for a night time game and really shows off the features of the stadium.”

And he added: “It's proven quite popular on social media with Dundee United fans, and I've had a few Dundee fans ask me when I'll get some photos of Dens! Hopefully I'll be able to get some shots there soon!”

And talking about new legislation surrounding drone operators he said: “When flying a drone you don't need to fly higher than 120m/400ft which is the maximum altitude you're legally allowed to fly, and there's no need to fly near most airports as they tend to be far away from places people might want to fly.

“Drone legislation is definitely needed to keep operators like myself in check and keep people who fly dangerously from flying their drones.

“Flying a drone can be dangerous in the wrong hands, which is why I personally am glad that to operate a drone in 2022, you need to pass a theory test, obtain a unique Operator ID, and display it on your drone. “
