Last night the people of Glasgow were treated to a spectacular light show with the skies being lit up by the Northern Lights.
Shades of pink, blue and green were seen across Scotland, with people rushing to see the Aurora Borealis and snap pictures to show off their views - and some were unsurprisingly breathtaking. The beautiful display is caused by electrically charged particles from space entering the Earth's atmosphere with the colourful vision on everyone's bucket list of things to see with a trip to Iceland often needed to catch a glimpse.
But lucky Glaswegians didn't need to go far during the weekend with thousands of locals able to enjoy the show from the comfort of their own homes.

One local, who lives in Gartcosh, saw some pretty stunning views for "a few hours" as they looked through their windows.
And in even better news, the Northern Lights are likely to be visible again this evening as the sun sets. So don't worry if you didn't manage to see them.
How and when you can see the Northern Lights in Glasgow
Scots who missed their chance to catch the dazzling lights last night may be able to see them again tonight, according to the Met Office. The meteorological experts said on Twitter today that "there's another chance to see the #Aurora tonight."
AuroraWatchUK, which is run by Lancaster University's Department of Physics, provides a real-time status tool and was on red alert last night meaning there was a high likelihood of the lights appearing in UK skies, reports the Daily Record.
The Met Office aurora forecast for the Northern Hemisphere suggests that many parts of the UK could see another light show later this evening if skies are clear.
It said: "There is a similar expectation for later on 27 Feb as another coronal mass ejection arrives and there is a chance of conditions strengthening to G3/Strong geomagnetic storm levels.
"Aurora is once again possible to similar latitudes, perhaps as far south as central or southern England should any larger storm periods occur."
The Northern Lights are most visible in a clear dark sky. Currently in the UK, the sun sets between 5pm and 6pm.
If there are no clouds in the sky, the darkest hours are currently around midnight in the UK, according to TimeAndDate.
