HGC operates from Easterton Airfield in the North of Scotland, about 3 miles south of Elgin, making it the most northerly gliding club in the UK. Thermal, ridge and wave flying.
With an excellent team of instructors, Highland has an outstanding training reputation and welcomes new members who are keen to take up the sport. We also encourage pilots to develop themselves to the utmost of their abilities, regardless of age or gender.
Highland Gliding Club is a Community Amateur Sports Club run by volunteers. Our grass airfield is regularly cut with a diesel tractor, but acquiring a robot mower would significantly reduce our carbon footprint, enabling unforgettable flying experiences and tuition for the local community, including many young people and visitors.
To help us get funding for a robot mower, please click on the image below and vote for Highland Gliding Club. Voting opens at noon on the 26th October and closes at 5pm on Monday 9th November.
