Northern Lights in Edinburgh
Found in Scotland, Edinburgh offers unique opportunities for aurora hunters visiting United Kingdom. Because it sits at 56.0°, seeing the aurora borealis here requires a fairly strong geomagnetic storm. Keep a close eye on space weather forecasts and be ready to travel to darker skies if a severe storm hits.
When to Visit Edinburgh
Because you need absolute darkness to see the lights this far south, limit your aurora hunting in Edinburgh to the late autumn and winter months. Summer nights here simply are not dark enough.
