Sight the LIGHTS
Shetland Islands, Scotland
As the closest place in Britain to the North Pole, and with little in the way of light pollution to block your view, the Shetland Islands offer Britain’s best chance to spot the Aurora Borealis. Except Shetlanders call it ‘Mirrie Dancers’, from the Gaelic for ‘nimble men’ – and when the green, yellow, purple and red curtain flickers across the pitch-black sky, you’ll see why.
