According to weather experts, the aurora borealis could be visible in Scotland on Friday night going into Saturday morning, with some parts of the country expected to have ideal conditions.
On Friday nights, conditions in parts of the country may allow Scots to see the stunning aurora borealis. With temperatures dropping and clear skies forecast in certain regions, skies could be lit up in dazzling bright colours.
In general, the more northern and rural areas of Scotland are better suited to spotting the aurora borealis. The north coast of the mainland and the Shetland archipelago in particular offer ideal conditions. The Met Office shared: "Aurora potentially visible as far south as northern England and Northern Ireland, and perhaps some northern coastal areas of North Wales and Norfolk.
The aurora borealis is a weather phenomenon caused by charged particles from the sun colliding with the Earth's atmosphere. This results in bright colours seen in the night sky.
