Dark Sky Scotland

Scotland has some of the best Dark Skies in Western Europe. To celebrate this, Dark Skies Scotland ran a series of highly successful events all over Scotland, which finished in March. We hope to continue running events this autumn, so to find out if there are any events in your area see the Dark Sky Scotland web pages.

The Royal Observatory Edinburgh comprises the UK Astronomy Technology Centre of the Science and Technology Facilities Council, the Institute for Astronomy of the University of Edinburgh and the ROE Visitor Centre.
