The Northern Lights were spotted on Sunday night above the capital, after it was predicted they could be visible.
Due to an 'unexpected solar flare', people across Scotland were told the aurora borealis may appear. Shaun Alexander, a blogger from Edinburgh, was driving home from the airport when a notification went off on his phone from the Northern Lights Now app.
It told him there could be potential activity, so he and his wife went out to Longiddry in hopes of witnessing the spectacle.
