An Edinburgh mum has shared a stark warning after her six-year-old daughter stood on burning sand from where a disposable BBQ had been lit.
The incident took place on Monday, June 12, at Yellowcraigs Beach, East Lothian, after the family covered the cooking kit in water before throwing it in the bin.
Not realising the area was still hot, the child stepped directly onto the hot patch of sand before screaming out in agony and being rushed to A&E at the Sick Kids.
