Microlighting in Scotland

Microlighting is all about having the freedom of the skies, flying by the seat of your pants like a paraglider, but with an engine to get you up there in the first place!

Microlights are small 2 seat aircraft which come in two styles flexwing, which is an open-air hang-glider wing but with trike, wheels and engine and a fixed-wing, which is more like a conventional aircraft. You can just about fly anywhere (within reason!), land in small fields, visit friends, favourite pubs!

Where to go:
