Many people in West Fife, and across the rest of Scotland, were treated to the spectacular sight of the Aurora Borealis - the Northern Lights - last night (Sunday, February 26).

And the good news for anyone who missed them is that there's a very good chance they should be visible again tonight.

Press readers have been sharing their stunning images of this natural wonder. We've received pictures from Dunfermline, Saline, Oakley, Crossford, Kelty and elsewhere.

While northern Scotland usually offers the best chances of spotting the Northern Lights, they can be seen anywhere in Scotland when the right conditions are met and where the light pollution is at a minimum - and that was the case last night.

This amazing spectacle is caused by charged particles accelerating into the Earth's upper atmosphere along magnetic field lines. The energy to drive this display is provided by the sun.

Aurorae come in all colours, shapes and patterns, setting the night sky alive with rainbows of light. The variations in colour are due to the type of gas particles that are colliding, from yellowish-greens, blues and purples, to fiery reds and oranges.

The Met Office said clear conditions across the UK for Sunday night made the Aurora Borealis visible in many parts of the UK, and that with conditions remaining similar, the lights were likely to be seen again tonight.
