very informative website, well laid out and with numerous photos.
Includes detailed walk-through photos showing various shots taken inside
aircraft on display)
This is not intended to be a fully comprehensive list of every
aircraft accident in Scotland (c. 4,000 in number). Rather,
the aircraft listed here are representative examples of the types
that crashed throughout Scotland. Regions included areArgyll, Ayrshire,
Borders,
Dumfries & Galloway,
Inverclyde, Highland, Lothian,
Orkney, Renfrewshire, Stirling, and the Western Isles. More from these and other
regions of Scotland will follow at regular intervals.

If you could help in this project, we would be very grateful for any
photos or information of aircraft crash sites—civil
or military—located in Scotland.
This applies also to information or photos regarding air accident
monuments or memorials within Scotland (including Western Isles,
Orkney & Shetland).
This will assist us in creating a resource
covering a much wider area of Scotland than is available at present.
In addition, it will provide background information for those
wishing to visit these locations or to learn more about these
aircraft and their passengers and/or crew.
Do you live in the
Cumbernauld, Kilsyth, Moodiesburn or
surrounding area.......and want to learn to drive
with a fully qualified, patient, friendly
instructor?
Then book your lessons with
Accelerate Driving School.
