These shots of the Northern Lights are pretty special, with it being unusual to see the aurora borealis so far South.

Predominantly the northern lights are best witnessed in Scotland, North England, North Wales and Northern Ireland.

The best conditions to view the lights are when the sky is dark and clear of any clouds.

Ideally, the lights will be best viewed away from any light pollution, in remote areas, facing the northern horizon - north facing coasts produce some of the best viewing locations.

The northern lights are most active during the Equinox and Solstice in March/April and September/October.
