With low light pollution, the Buchan valley is a spectacular observational site for the timeless night sky. Whether you know all your constellations backwards, or you’ve never looked into a telescope before, whether you’ve had five trips around the sun or 95, this event is suited to anyone who’d like to learn more about the enchanting world that glows above us.
