The Aurua Borealis usually only appears to the naked eye as a faint glow in the magnetic North night sky. Colours are normally only seen via long exposure photography.

They will only be seen when it is dark. Craggan is in the far North of Scotland, where we experience twilight, not dark skies, between April and August. The best time of year to try is between October and March.

A clear and cloudless night is essential. When there is a moon, it is best to look before it rises or after it sets.

Unfortunately there is no guarantee of seeing this natural phemonenon.
