Stargazing in South East Scotland

With sprawling parks and forests, there are plenty of dark skies to be found in South East Scotland. Head into the car parks of Eskdalemuir Forest to see into the Milky Way galaxy soaring overhead. Away from
Edinburgh you’ll find aurora viewpoints and inky skies where you can enjoy watching meteor showers like the Perseids.
