Good places to see Perseid meteor shower in Scotland?

Hi,

Looking for suggestions as my partner and I are looking to go somewhere to enjoy the shower.

We're located in East Lothian in Scotland. Does anyone know of good places to see the meteor shower or will any empty countryside do?

OC A chunk of our planet gets a solar eclipse today — see exactly how much of the Sun is covered from your spot

Disclosure: I work at amCharts and built this.

A chunk of our planet gets a solar eclipse today. If you happen to be in Spain, congrats, you're in for a full show. If not, chances are good you're still getting a glimpse - most of Europe, northern Africa, Greenland and Iceland see at least a partial. Use our eclipse map to find the precise time and coverage % from your exact spot: https://dojo.amcharts.com/solar-eclipses/#eclipse=TSE\_2026\_Aug\_12&t=0.5000&olat=51.661&olon=0.214&proj=globe&hd=0&rx=25.15&ry=-65.14&zoom=0.95&cx=69.241&cy=-25.148&theme=light&ys=2026&ye=2031

Drop the pin anywhere on the map. Rings around the shadow show 10% coverage steps.

Data: Fred Espenak's Five Millennium Canon of Solar Eclipses (NASA/GSFC). Tool covers every eclipse 1900-2100 - the next big total is over Spain and North Africa in August 2027.
