When will the next total eclipse visible from Scotland occur?
Scotland is having a bad spell for total eclipses at the moment. The last total eclipse visible from mainland Scotland was in 1699. The total eclipse of 30th June 1954 was visible in the Shetland Islands, but the next total eclipse on the mainland won’t be until 3rd June 2133, visible in the far north west around Cape Wrath. To make up for this 434 year gap, the next total eclipse will follow 2 years later on 7th October 2135. There is a map showing these two eclipses at http://eclipse.gsfc.nasa.gov/SEatlas/SEa… You could perhaps visit the Faroe Islands for the total eclipse of 20th March 2015, but since this eclipse track is virtually entirely in the Atlantic Ocean, the Faroes will probably sink under the weight of visitors. One of the previous answers is incorrect. The eclipse on 11th August 2018 will only be partial.
