    I wouldn’t say I qualify as a southerner. I live further north than Inari.

      Would you mind sharing where that would be?

      Northernmost point – Out Stack (Oosta), Shetland at 60°51′N 0°52′W

      https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extreme_points_of_Scotland

      Inari is 68°.

      Idk where you’re getting those 8 degrees from? So where’d you live?

      Those extreme points are the same for the whole of UK and for British Overseas Territories and Crown dependencies is on the Isle of Man.

      By the data I can find, I live further north than any UK territory. I understand I can be wrong.

      So… please elaborate.

        Yeah, I moved away from Scotland almost 2 decades ago. I live in Northern Norway. I haven’t seen the sun since November.

          Well I hope you’re happy to get me to agree to that, but I’d note that you probably did realise I meant “Scots” as in “anyone residing in Scotland” instead of “any Brits who may or may not have been born in Scotland but now have moved further north than would be possible if one still lived on Scotland”

              I live too close to a highway and in general further South so while it’s been a great year for auroras, I’ve not seen shit as to see them properly I have to go some 10-20km out of the city and without a car I haven’t really bothered.

              Got to get me a van next year.

              I’m somewhat jealous, I’ll admit.

                I haven’t really seen it since the beginning of mørketid. It’s been really cloudy until today. But it tends to be visible from within the city quite often. I might be without a car soon anyway. The eu control is coming up and last time it cost almost a whole months paycheck to fix the piece of shit.
