Thousands of Scots who use oil to heat their homes are facing 'astronomical' bills due to a significant hike in the price of Kerosene, financial experts warn.
Advice Direct Scotland have warned that while most homes use gas or electric for heating, 129,000 houses in mainly rural and remote areas rely on oil - this makes up five per cent of all homes in Scotland.
Gas and electric will be rising in cost by April 1 but oil is expected to rise also.
