... I suppose it could be an artifact relating to that the magnetic pole is not the same thing...

I have seen the AB in both the summer and the winter, in North Dakota, northern Wisconsin and the UP of Michigan.
On the other hand, Tim who lives in Scotland which if further north than any of the U.S. has never seen it from his home.
I am curious why we in the northern US can see the AB but people in Scotland can't. I tried looking it up on Wiki but couldn't find anything.
Anyone have any ideas?

.. as the geographical one. I still find it odd that you'd see it much in the US, though... However, there could be other explanations depending on the amount of light pollution available in your respective areas.

You seem to be right - apparently the magnetic pole is on the northern Canadian islands.

The magnetic pole is in Canada right now so that could be a factor

It has nothing to do with where the magnetic pole is

It's common enough that it's not a big deal in the three places I mentioned...

Well they used to be worried that Qubec would surrender if the used fireworks.

Fireworks were the second thing they started importing (after food, of course.

Probably a combination of Edinburgh, light pollution and the fact it's almost always raining.
