Scots aurora hunters clog up roads at beauty spot for second night of Northern Lights

Aurora hunters hoping to catch a glimpse of the Northern Lights for the second night in a row have descended on Loch Lomond, clogging up roads around the beloved Scots beauty spot.

Locals in areas around the loch say that roads around Duck Bay, on the south-western banks, are "packed" with Scots seeking the rare phenomena. Meteorologists say the conditions for spotting the Aurora Borealis have been "perfect" in recent days, with Loch Lomond named as an ideal place to catch a glimpse on Monday.

Sensational photos shared by others from Sunday have prompted hordes of would-be Borealis buffs to descend on some of the spots believed to be the best places to see the solar phenomenon. Among them was Clydebank mum Elaine McFarlane, 44, who jumped in the car with her family to visit the loch after missing the lights at the weekend.
