Super Buck Moon - how and when to see July's full moon in Scotland

Scottish stargazers are in for a treat as a "supermoon" is expected to appear bigger and brighter in Scotland on Wednesday night. Provided the skies stay clear, the sublime display should be visible across the UK.

Last month, June's Strawberry Moon appeared in the sky. This full moon stuck out due to its reddish, pink hues, which explain its name.

July's full moon is known as the Buck Moon because male deer shed and regrow their antlers around this time of year. The name came from a Native American system which uses the different months' full moons as a calendar to keep track of the seasons, according to said Anna Ross, a planetarium astronomer at Royal Museums Greenwich, London.
