Northern Lights to light up Glasgow skies tonight - how and when to see it

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.
