I'm in Ireland and went out last night to try and find it, last year I got some spectacular photos from my bedroom window. Alas it only peaked as it was over the US so sadly I missed out. Ireland is far enough north that we actually get the aurora somewhat regularly. We rarely have clear skies though, making it a true "planets align" thing to actually see it.

Who wanted to leave? What wars?
Scotland the UK? (They were allowed to vote in the end and voted to remain) And wars happened when scotland was forced to become part of the UK in medieval times. (Braveheart)
You might be confusing the U.K. with the USA where a pet of the country there wanted to leave and were refused and that did lead to war, and that happened far more recently than 700 years ago.

Similarly, the part of your body commonly referred to as “the bottom” is in fact closer to half-way down and not at the bottom at all. I will leave any possible joke about being legless after a night out in Newcastle-upon-Tyne to the experts.
"Most of the time when someone says they are in the “North East of the UK” it’s not some Scotsman up in Shetland it is an English person who is currently in the North East of England." So you think this is simply wrong? (Like this)

So Scotland didn’t want to leave. And Scotland didn’t unite with England until after the Scottish King took over he English throne hundreds of years after the time of William Wallace You might be confusing the U.K. with the USA where a pet of the country there wanted to leave and were refused and that did lead to war, and that happened far more recently than 700 years ago.

Look at the pictures from 3AM onwards on the 12 of November: you'll have a nice overview of how the aurora looked like from Switzerland (it's a time sensitive app and they certainly don't keep the pictures forever).
