Best pictures as Northern Lights put on spectacular display in Tayside and Fife

The Northern Lights have put on another spectacular display across Tayside and Fife.

The phenomenon, also known as the Aurora Borealis, was visible across the region on Thursday night and the early hours of Friday morning.

Locals lucky enough to capture the celestial light show have shared their snaps.

The Northern Lights appear several times each year, particularly in the north of Scotland.

We asked readers to share their best photos from Dundee, Angus, Perth and Kinross and Fife.

David Mallen Bosch, from Dundee, had just returned to the city after a four-day holiday in Norway on Thursday night.

The school teacher says he was still unpacking when he looked outside to see the sky flood with green and red displays.

He said: “The red colour was so intense you could see it so vividly with your bare eyes.

“It looked as though I had brought the northern lights back from Norway.

“I ran to Baxter Park to appreciate them even better with more darkness and was there for another 10-15 minutes until they started to fade.

“Only when things like this happen do we truly realise how special and magical the Earth we live in can be.”
