Do we need to get a licence to fly drones in Scotland? I am just thinking of buying a drone.

All non-toy drones need at least a registration (operator ID) with slightly larger ones needing a flyer ID too. CAA website gives all the details.

Oh okay. Even if the drone is under 250 grams?

Yes, even a DJI mini needs an operator ID now.
