Police were called to the scene
Hundreds of vehicles were left stranded after crowds of stargazers flocked to a well-known landmark in hopes of seeing the Northern Lights.
It came after Friday's extraordinary spectacle when the Northern Lights were visible across the UK in a seldom-seen phenomenon that typically occurs just once or twice in a lifetime.With the Met Office forecasting another appearance of the lights on Saturday , hundreds ascended Castle Hill in anticipation but were left disheartened when the lights failed to show.
One optimistic stargazer said: "We went to see the lights and noticed Castle Hill was busier than usual. Mr King explained that while a decrease in aurora activity was predicted as Saturday night approached, it declined abruptly just as darkness fell, leading to "really bad timing".
