A trip to this remote part of Scotland will also give you the chance to meet the island’s famous seaweed-eating sheep and visit the UK’s tallest land-based lighthouse. When conditions are right you may even see the Northern Lights dancing in red and green. On winter nights, you’ll see the stars shine and sparkle here across the sky in a truly dramatic display. However, it was only in 2021 that the island was officially recognised as a ‘dark sky island’. Orkney’s northernmost island, North Ronaldsay has long been associated with dark and clear night skies. Search for accommodation in Dumfries & Galloway and start planning a stargazing adventure in South Scotland today.
