The Northern Lights put on an amazing display across Tayside and Fife on Bonfire Night.

Locals lucky enough to capture a glimpse of the Aurora Borealis have been sharing their pictures with The Courier.

Every so often the phenomenon appears – particularly in the northern parts of Scotland.

Lancaster University provides Northern Lights updates on social media – so you will never miss them when they appear.

Here are some of the best pictures from across Tayside and Fife.
