Spectacular display of Mirrie Dancers over Sandwick

Shetland News @shetnews

SHETLAND was treated to a spectacular display of the aurora borealis overnight – but not many people will have seen it.

Thanks to Sandwick resident Anne Powell for sending in these photos which were taken between midnight and 3am in the morning.
