New restrictions on the type of fireworks that can be let off over Stirling Castle are set to be introduced following recent complaints from residents.
The anger stems from an incident last month where a display lit up the skies shortly after 10pm on the evening of April 19, with many in the community claiming to have been left in the dark over the plans and critical of the stress caused to children and pets.
One of those affected was freelance journalist Caroline Malcolm-Boulton, who said: “The display was spectacular and will have doubtless put a smile on many people’s faces ((mine included, I love fireworks), but it was extremely thoughtless of those involved to hold such a disruptive spectacle at that time of night and without adequate warning.
