Scots stand a chance of catching a glimpse of the northern lights amid expected geomagnetic storms.
The Met Office confirmed the display of lights could be enhanced overnight between May 26 and 27.
Officially known as an aurora borealis, northern lights appear when there is activity on the sun.
Atoms and molecules from the earth's atmosphere collide with particles from the sun, resulting in northern lights.

The forecasters warned that chance of spotting the lights may be limited by the shorter nights and longer days.

The official Met Office forecast says: "The auroral oval is expected to remain close to background levels on May 24 and 25 with weak geomagnetic activity.
"There is a slight chance of geomagnetic storms on 26th May, which could result in visible aurora, although this will be limited by the short night-time periods in the northern hemisphere summer."
