It usually doesn't begin until far into the autumn months, but the Northern Light season appears to have come to Scotland early this year.
Spectacular displays were spotted in the night sky in several locations last night including Caithness, Moray Firth and Dundee, with further sightings expected this evening.
People are being told to look to the skies on Friday night as a series of explosions on the Sun is expected to hit the earth today, resulting the natural phenomenon also known as the Aurora Borealis.
