Rigg Bay. Galloway

AIRVŪZ STAFF NOTE :

Contributor Albacross Imaging created this fascinating drone video of a historical site in southwestern Scotland.  The spot is called Rigg Bay, and it's on the western side of the Solway Firth, which serves as the border between the Scotland and England regions of the United Kingdom.  The site was used to develop the famous Mulberries which were used to support the Allied D-Day landings in World War II.  These were artificial harbors built in the days immediately following the Normandy landings on June 6, 1944.
