Last night’s Aurora Borealis was visable over large parts of northern and central Scotland.

Aurora Watch UK issued a red alert for geomagnetic activity as people looked skyward for a view of the colourful display.

The Northern Lights can strike at any time but are more likely to be seen on clear nights in the autumn and winter.

Last night’s display was spotted in Caithness and as far south as Kinross.
