The Scottish Government has faced fresh calls to delay the start of their "fiasco" home fire alarm policy.
New laws passed by the Holyrood administration in the wake of the Grenfell Tower disaster will force homeowners to install inter-linked smoke detectors in their properties.
Anybody failing to comply with the measures - which also call for heat alarms to be mounted in kitchens and carbon monoxide detectors where properties have carbon-producing appliances such as gas boilers - by the February 1 deadline, risks voiding home insurance policies.
