Yep. We decided to visit the wife’s relatives who live in Scotland in
February/ March 2013
but also decided to make a decent break of it by taking a drive North
roughly on what has now become  the ( and some say ruined by Motor homers
and publicity ) North Coast 500.
We used B+B’s just hoping we found one before darkness fell and stopped one
night in a small settlement called Leirinmore. By the time we settled into
the room and freshened up and then walked to the pub next door for food it
had got dark, because of the time of the year menu wasn’t elaborate
and was mainly quick to prepare and serve fare so I think we settled on a
pie and and chips or similar offering. Thought after awhile it was taking a
bit of time but as  we having a relaxing drink we weren’t bothered but the
place had gone eerily quiet with just us in it, all of sudden the owner who
was preparing the food dashed in from outside and said “Sorry , forgot you
were here ,we’ve all gone outside to  watch the Northern Lights its one of
the best displays we have seen for years.
I believe they were seen quite a long way South that night possibly the 26
of February but we were lucky enough to be by chance right in the North of
Scotland.
Previously I did see them once in the Mid 1980’s while visiting Mull.
 Both occasions the displays were quite colourful but we had not had our
expectations  raised like can happen now to some by seeing someones photo
image  filling a spot on the  local TV weather forecast and getting
disappointed that seeing with the  naked eye is not  usually as intense .
