With Bonfire Night approaching, Scots may be wise to brush up on the rules and laws surrounding fireworks.
While many have said that fireworks should be banned outright in Scotland, they are still legal to purchase, albeit with a number of restrictions in place.
One of the most notable restrictions is a criminal offence just introduced in October that punishes those buying fireworks for under-18s. It means Bonfire Night 2022 is the first year authorities can slap Scots with up to six months imprisonment for supplying fireworks to minors - on top of a £5,000 fine.
