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.
