Here they call the northern lights the “Mirrie (Merry) Dancers.” They’re generally brightest in the well-known northern Highlands. You can even get free alerts on the best time to see the lights here via email, Facebook, Twitter, or smartphone.
Visit Scotland’s Shetland Islands in January. They’re the closest British Isles to the North Pole. If you’re longing for lights of blue, green, orange, pink, and purple, wintertime is best. Rent Muckle Roe Chapel, situated on the attractive isle of Muckle Roet. This renovated chapel provides travelers with panoramic views of both the ocean and the aurora borealis.
