The Northern Lights have been snapped in East Lothian after a solar storm made the Aurora Borealis visible across the country yesterday evening.
Despite the cloudy conditions, Cathy Ryan managed to capture the astonishing technicolor display around 9pm in Dunbar, East Lothian just before the clouds moved in.
The stunning image shows the light purple and fluorescent green lights across the sky behind Belhaven Bridge, also known as the 'Bridge to Nowhere'.
Speaking to Edinburgh Live, Cathy who took the incredible shots said: "It was at Belhaven Beach, about 9pm this evening. What an amazing show."

Hundreds of locals were in awe of the incredible image, Paul Adams gushed: "You've captured them absolutely perfect! Great pictures!"
Margaret Barron said: "Great photo always happens when I am not there" while Justine Bradd added: "Fab capture.."
Yesterday a spokesperson for the Met Office said: “Geomagnetic activity is forecast to remain enhanced tonight, which means a possibility of seeing the aurora, mainly in the far north of Scotland.
“Unfortunately tonight looks rather cloudy so it’s not likely to make for good viewing conditions even if they do track south enough.”
However some lucky locals in East Lothian were treated to a vibrant display, spotting the magical display clearly from Dunbar.

The G2 solar storm hit the Earth's atmosphere on Wednesday, February 2, after a coronal mass ejection from the surface of the Sun over the weekend.
The spectacle that is the Northern Lights has been spotted time and time again during a solar storm. Those lights that we see in the night sky are in actual fact caused by activity on the sun.
Storms on the surface on the sun create huge waves of electronically charged particles capable of travelling millions of miles with some reaching Earth.
The waves that reach our planet become captured in Earth's magnetic field. From this, bright lights are often created, which allows us to enjoy the wonder of the Northern Lights.
