Scots stargazers may be able to catch a glimpse of the Northern Lights tonight

Scots may have a chance of catching a glimpse of the Northern Lights this evening.

The Met Office’s space weather team have said that there is a chance of an aurora appearing the skies in the north of Scotland - but the chances are said to be as slim as 30 per cent.

This comes after a minor geomagnetic storm, forecasters have said.
