Scot captures 'magical' shot of shooting star sweeping over night sky in Ayrshire

A Scottish photographer has shared an image of star trails above Dumfries House in Ayrshire that has been called "absolutely incredible".

The image shows the movement of stars in the night sky taken over a period of two and a half hours. Photographer Craig Mccomb captured a series of photographs on his camera and edited them together to show the movement of the stars over the timeframe.

As can be seen in the photo, the stars are rotating around Polaris, also referred to as the North Star. Craig revealed that he shot the image in -11C temperatures that left his camera "frosted" and his equipment "frozen".
