Forecasters are hoping the Northern Lights may be visible in the north of Scotland for a second night in a row.

The Aurora Borealis put on a show across the skies of the north and north-east on Saturday night.

Clear and dark skies meant the light show was easy for the naked eye to see, with the brightest lights being seen between around 9pm and midnight.

People from across the region shared their photos and videos of the lights dancing in the skies as they watched in amazement.

If you missed out on the Northern Lights last night you might be in luck, as some forecasters have predicted they might be visible again on Sunday.

BBC Weather shared their Aurora forecast, but warned that there is also cloud forecast for this evening.

Where and when could the Northern Lights be seen?

Though there can never be absolute certainty that the lights will be visible, there are chances they could be spotted from more northern areas of the Highlands, islands and the north-east.

In Elgin, Thurso and Orkney the skies are forecast to be clear which should give locals a good chance of seeing the natural phenomenon if it does appear.

However, there is cloud, mist and fog forecast during the later hours in places including Fraserburgh, Inverness and Aberdeen, meaning the Northern Lights could be more difficult to see.

Much like last night, the lights are likely to be most active between 9pm and midnight.

Keep up to date with the Northern Lights forecast on the AuroraWatch UK website.
