Northern Lights in Scotland — The Complete Guide for Asian Travellers

Northern Lights in Scotland — The Complete Guide for Asian Travellers

北極光（Northern Lights）— also known as the 極光（Aurora Borealis）— represent one of the most extraordinary and emotionally overwhelming natural phenomena available to witness anywhere on Earth. For travellers from Hong Kong, Taiwan, Singapore and Mainland China who have grown up in cities where light pollution makes stargazing almost impossible, witnessing the 北極光 dancing across a dark Highland sky creates an experience of genuinely overwhelming beauty. Scotland's position at the same latitude as southern Scandinavia means that 北極光 are visible from the Scottish Highlands on multiple nights each year — particularly during periods of high solar activity. The best locations for 北極光 viewing in Scotland include the remote moorlands of 格倫科（Glencoe）, the coastal cliffs of 天空島（Isle of Skye）at 尼斯特角（Neist Point）, the shores of 尼斯湖（Loch Ness）and the open Highland landscape around 因弗內斯（Inverness）. The best season for 北極光 viewing in Scotland is September to March — when nights are long and dark enough for the aurora to be visible.
