Edinburgh locals could see Northern Lights tonight ahead of Valentine's Day

With Valentine's Day approaching, many couples in or around Edinburgh will be looking forward to a nice romantic meal or a movie night under the blanket.

Another popular option is a leisurely stroll along a beach or lying gazing at the stars. As luck would have it, one of the world's most beautiful phenomena could be visible from a beauty spot in the capital.

If you haven't guessed already, we're alluding to the Northern Lights. According to the Met Office, one of the best spots for star-gazing - quite literally - at Blackford Hill, could be a prime location to witness the aurora borealis.
