In pictures: Sturgeon moon over Scotland
- Published
Fraser Hynd was one of many 成人快手 news website readers who got a fine view of the supermoon over Scotland.
Clear skies allowed stunning views of the third and final supermoon of the year over Scotland on Thursday night.
The August full moon is known as the Sturgeon moon due to the numbers of the fish appearing in North American waters during the month.
It has also been called the red moon as it often takes on that colour in a summer haze.
A supermoon is a full moon which looks closer and brighter to the Earth than usual.
