METEOR SHOWERS IN GALLOWAY
The Geminids meteor shower in Scotland’s Galloway is a stunning display visible between 7-16 December, and one of the highlights of the stargazing year. On a dark night, you can catch over 50 dazzling meteors blazing across the sky every hour. Perched on a hilltop on the edge of Galloway’s Dark Sky Park, the Scottish Dark Sky Observatory is a great spot from which to watch the drama unfold.
Take a walk: The 4km gentle stroll from Loch Doon Castle to the loch itself follows a lovely moorland path, with superb views of the Galloway Hills. Visit scottishdarksky observatory.co.uk.
