The sky of Glasgow
At 55.9° north latitude, Glasgow has very short summer nights but long twilights and, crucially, very long winter nights suited to stargazing. The nearby Highlands and Trossachs offer exceptionally dark skies. Glasgow is one of the best-placed British cities for observing the Northern Lights.
