In pictures: the Northern Lights over Glasgow

Aurora Borealis, more commonly known as the Northern Lights, is a phenomenon usually more associated with countries close to the Arctic Circle such as Iceland and Norway. But last night, the display was visible in parts of the UK - in particular in Scotland. Here's a look at just some of your pictures of the Northern Lights in Glasgow and the surrounding areas.
