Aurora Borealis from Findhorn

Aurora Borealis puts on an amazing show

The dark skies of the Moray Coast treated us to a magnificent display of the aurora borealis on night of 13 March, with the rippling and swirling curves normally associated with higher latitudes.

And easily visible with the naked eye.
