Huge Paisley bonfire built by locals as flames seen miles away

Fire crews were called to a huge bonfire built by locals in Paisley that could be seen from miles away on Bonfire Night. The massive inferno was set alight in the Shortroods area of the town and is believed to have burned until around 10pm on Saturday night.

Images shared on social media show the huge bright orange flames engulfing a grassy area near Shortroods Road. Thick black smoke billows over homes nearby, as locals gathered at the unofficial event.

A tape appears to have been erected to separate the fire from families who rocked up to catch a glimpse of the spectacle. It is understood fireworks were also set off at the gathering.
