The Northern Lights have once again put on an amazing display across Tayside and Fife.

Locals from across the region captured the Aurora Borealis as lit up the sky on Thursday night.

The phenomenon happens several times across the year and is usually spotted in northern areas of the country.

Here are some of the pictures sent in by Courier readers from Thursday night’s Northern Lights show across Tayside and Fife.
