Discussing the location, Millets said: "Dark, clear skies provide the best conditions for seeing such events, and Dunfermline has the lowest light pollution level out of Scottish towns and cities in our study.

"The area has a 1.59 mcd/m2 brightness, making it the optimal destination for avoiding bright city light that can wash out faint stars' glow.

"The town also has a low air quality index (AQI) of 22, where a score of 50 or below is considered good. Of all the Scottish locations we looked at, Dunfermline is in the top three for the best AQI, indicating the presence of clear skies with minimal haze and particulate matter."
