Linda Cockburn said of her shot: "Just a normal Wednesday night in Lindifferon, Fife."

Mike Alexander, of Galloway Astronomy Centre, said: "The aurora resulted from explosions on the sun a few days ago – they arrive a few hours earlier than expected. The image is looking north from Glasserton towards the Galloway Hills."
