02/10/2013 Falls of Muick > The Scenery of the Dee Book is now reissued by the Deeside Bookshop at Ballater and is on sale at various outlets in Aberdeen and on Deeside. Seeing the Aurora Borealis in Scotland and the UK. Three Internet sites that will help you to see displays: www.spaceweather.com Site gives best predictive information about Solar activity and likely storms affecting the Earth. www.AuroraWatch.co.uk Alert service for the UK storms happening from data source at Crooktree in North East Scotland. www.auroraspy.co.uk Offers Scottish overview of various sites including direct link to Spaceweather European Aurora Oval map, the Crooktree data and useful cloud forecasts. 14th November, 2012 Interesting article in wheretraveler.com about seeing and photographing Aurora displays: http://www.wheretraveler.com/alaska/take-great-photograph-northern-lights New Stone Circle on Deeside NESARS volunteers under the co- direction of Professor Richard Bradley and Amanda Clarke from Reading University investigated a site at Hillhead/Blackhills near Tarland during September 2013. All indications are it is an unknown Recumbent Stone Circle and not a ring enclosure are previously thought. Confirmation will be forthcoming in the next month or so. A cremation pit with dating material was also found in the centre of the circular cairn. The following photo shows John from Reading clearing the possible base of the missing recumbent with a flanker socket in the foreground.		I am based on Royal Deeside in Aberdeenshire. In 1986 I began compiling an extensive collection of my photographs when I established my freelance photography business. I was a BAPLA registered photo-library from 1990 - 2010. News update: There have been Aurora Borealis display during 2012, with two good displays on the 1st and 8th of October and the best I have seen since 2006. So far 2013 has been very quiet and great debate about the Solar Max continues. Several of the images from that activity are on Crooktree.com and see the Links Aurora Photography article for useful information and links. A small display on the evening of the 13th January, 2012 between 8-10.30pm. Not picked up by AuroraWatch as the data is now coming from Lancaster as the Crooktree computer has a fault. Watch Spaceweather more closely to pick up early warnings, especially if you are living in Northern Scotland.

The book is by James Miller and is the history of the Moray Firth. ISBN: 978-1-78027-095-1 www.birlinn.co.uk I was also involved in another project for Birlinn during 2012, providing photographs for Britain's Last Frontier: A Journey along the Highland Line by Alastair Moffat The two Aurora Displays below show that displays over Scotland can be seen during all months of the year as they are related to activity on the Sun's surface and are not just a event occurring in Winter on Earth. Current activity has been low for a number of years but is beginning to increase again as the new Solar Cycle develops. The photos below are two summer 2003 Aurora displays with Aberdeen photos below.
My own online library is now set up at Crooktree.com and I have further images on the Alamy.com site, with some of my Scottish and Aurora collection in addition to the Alamy stock is on the Collections Library and is available for purchase.
