The weather was extremely favourable for the runway 30 arrival.
The raven was enjoying mobbing him. I think white tailed sea eagle but could be persuaded its a Golden Eagle?
This still has copyright issues but overcame by a mixture of trimming and cutting which is a real shame.

Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth was in town for Royal Week, staying in Holyrood Palace.
The Crown of Scotland was taken from Edinburgh Castle by luxury limo guarded by The Duke of Hamilton and The Scots Guards.
The Scots Guards P&D played the 20 minutes from Edinburgh Castle down the Royal Mile to The Scottish Parliament Building.
Due to Heilan Laddie being blocked in 240 countries (why?!) I have had to remove that song from the VT .. sorry.
I have done a Directors Cut with commentary version of this event here: youtu.be/yLlCcNUAU20
This version has all of the footage of the day, as the commentary overcomes the zealous ContentID copyright system.
Disney Fantasy can play songs from Disney movies and parks using its 11 horns, specifically: "A Dream Is a Wish Your Heart Makes" from Cinderella, "Be Our Guest" from Beauty and the Beast, "Yo Ho (A Pirate's Life for Me)" from Pirates of the Caribbean, the Pinocchio songs "When You Wish Upon a Star" and "Hi-Diddle-Dee-Dee (An Actor's Life for Me)", "Do You Want to Build a Snowman?" from Frozen, and "It's a Small World (After All)". In addition its musical horns, during the "Star Wars Day At Sea" the ship can sound other horns, including: "The Imperial March" and a segment of the "Star Wars (Main Title)", and when in New York City, can play the beginning of "New York, New York" by Frank Sinatra.
1 hour later I was in position and found a great spot right next to The Lord Provost of Edinburgh Robert Aldridge where I setup my Nikon z6ii with 24-200mm lens on a tripod and chatted to the provost about his recent equestrian skills on The Royal Mile at The Riding of the Marches!
This footage is beautiful 4K footage from that camera and the Rode Videomic Pro gives the best possible sound. I ran it through Adobe Premier pro to increase the brightness.
I must add that youtube have a system called ContentID that scans every clip you upload. The objective of this system is to weed out copyrighted music. It determined there was some copyrighted music here so my options are TRIM or MUTE at those points in time. I chose TRIM. You may notice some jumps in the VT and this is why.

Newton wrote the words from personal experience; he grew up without any particular religious conviction, but his life's path was formed by a variety of twists and coincidences that were often put into motion by others' reactions to what they took as his recalcitrant insubordination. He was pressed into service with the Royal Navy, and after leaving the service, he became involved in the Atlantic slave trade. In 1748, a violent storm battered his vessel off the coast of County Donegal, Ireland, so severely that he called out to God for mercy. While this moment marked his spiritual conversion, he continued slave trading until 1754 or 1755, when he ended his seafaring altogether. Newton began studying Christian theology and later became an abolitionist.
Ordained in the Church of England in 1764, Newton became the curate of Olney, Buckinghamshire, where he began to write hymns with poet William Cowper. "Amazing Grace" was written to illustrate a sermon on New Year's Day of 1773. It is unknown if there was any music accompanying the verses; it may have been chanted by the congregation. It debuted in print in 1779 in Newton's and Cowper's Olney Hymns, but settled into relative obscurity in England. In the United States, "Amazing Grace" became a popular song used by Baptist and Methodist preachers as part of their evangelizing, especially in the American South, during the Second Great Awakening of the early 19th century. It has been associated with more than 20 melodies. In 1835, American composer William Walker set it to the tune known as "New Britain" in a shape note format; this is the version most frequently sung today.
With the message that forgiveness and redemption are possible regardless of sins committed and that the soul can be delivered from despair through the mercy of God, "Amazing Grace" is one of the most recognisable songs in the English-speaking world. American historian Gilbert Chase writes that it is "without a doubt the most famous of all the folk hymns"[1] and Jonathan Aitken, a Newton biographer, estimates that the song is performed about 10 million times annually.[2]
It has had particular influence in folk music, and has become an emblematic black spiritual. Its universal message has been a significant factor in its crossover into secular music. "Amazing Grace" became newly popular during the 1960s revival of American folk music, and it has been recorded thousands of times during and since the 20th century.
