Photographers, hoping to catch images of fireworks and bonfires on Sunday night, were treated to one of nature’s rare spectacles when their photographs inadvertently captured the aurora borealis.
Not visible to the naked eye but clearly visible through phones and cameras, the phenomenon was widely witnessed by people all over Arran and across the UK. Scientists predict this winter will be an excellent time for spotting the lights as the sun nears its solar maximum between January and October 2024.
