I don't know if it was an urban myth (or maybe a rural one) but I heard that the reason it was so expensive to fly internally in Scotland was because of all the military no-fly zones meant it was impossible to fly from A to B in a straight line.

interfere with their radar and other listening devices and had a blanket ban on them being built within a certain distance from military installations. So good news -
if your a fan of renewables - with today's announcement that the MoD have moved to allow wind turbines within 17.5km of its seismic detection station at Eskdalemuir, in Dumfries and Galloway.

Good news?
