Amazing pictures show spectacular Northern Lights illuminate skies across north and north-east

Skies across the north and north-east were illuminated last night as the Northern Lights managed to shine through the clouds.

People across the Aberdeenshire, Moray, and the Highlands and Islands had their eyes on the skies to catch a glimpse of the natural phenomenon.

Here are some of the best photos capturing the natural light display
