Setting off fireworks at the wrong time in Scotland could lead to hefty fines and even time in prison.
Rules added to the The Fireworks (Scotland) Miscellaneous Amendments Regulations last year outline the specific hours in which you can use fireworks. It is illegal to set off fireworks outside of permitted hours - although these will be extended on November 5.
Setting off any fireworks or pyrotechnics outside of permitted hours breach these laws and could leave you with a £90 on-the-spot fine. However the maximum fine could be as high as £5,000, and you may also face six months jail time.
