Watch a timelapse of Northern Lights over the west of Scotland

Timelapse has captured the Northern Lights which were visible from right across Scotland overnight.

This footage of green waves of colour was taken at Kilbarchan in Renfrewshire.

Clear night skies provided the best opportunities for seeing the space weather, also known as aurora borealis.

The lights are caused by charged particles from the sun hitting gases in the Earth’s atmosphere, and overnight were visible as far south as Buckinghamshire and London.
