Bow Fiddle Rock in Moray stands as a striking natural arch carved by relentless coastal waves, resembling the tip of a violin bow poised dramatically against the North Sea. Its rugged silhouette makes for a compelling foreground in aurora photography, lending a unique sense of scale and texture to the ethereal northern lights. Clear skies facing north are essential because the aurora borealis predominantly appears at higher latitudes, glowing best against an unobstructed, dark canvas. With no light pollution and minimal cloud cover, the vivid greens and purples of the aurora can dance unchallenged above Bow Fiddle Rock, creating images that combine nature’s rock-solid artistry with celestial spectacle.
