Where can I see the Northern Lights tonight?
Typically, the spectacle is most visible in Scotland from Orkney, Shetland, the Western Isles and the north of Skye.
Sightings tend to take place during the Equinox and Solstice between March to April and September to October.
It is best to view the lights when the sky is dark and clear of any clouds.
An aurora forecast from the Met Office has said the Northern Lights may be visible to the northern horizons of northern Scotland tonight.
Aurora Watch UK recorded minor geomagnetic activity this evening after issuing a red alert for possible sightings last night.
