I wonder if anywhere else in the UK saw beautiful skies as darkness fell as we did here in the North.

Just a shame it wasn't over the Nth Sea to make a nicer photo.

Amazing to watch :)

Fabulous pictures Kiya, they seem to me to have the Aurora Borealis effect in them, which wouldn't surprise me living where you do. :up

I've been told they are Nacreous clouds.......that's from an ex-President of Aberdeen Astronomical Society.
