Sky watchers have been treated to a "super blue Moon" across Scotland.

The Moon appeared about 7% larger and 15% brighter than usual because it was at the closest point to the Earth in its elliptical orbit.

It was also the second full Moon of the month, commonly called a blue Moon.

A lunar eclipse, known as a blood Moon, was visible in other parts of the world - although not the UK. The super Moon, blue Moon and eclipse coincided for the first time since 31 March 1866.
