Eclipse Envy: Clouds Spoil the Party for Scots The rare solar eclipse that swept over Scotland on August 12 was a letdown for many who braved the elements to catch a glimpse of the celestial phenomenon.
The event, which saw more than 90% of the sun obscured by the Moon, had been touted as one of the fullest eclipses visible above UK skies until 2081.
Clouds blanketed the sky, obscuring the view for those gathered at viewing events across Scotland.
