The Law

It is an offence for anyone under the age of 18 to buy or attempt to buy fireworks.
Firework usage has now been brought into line with other noise legislation, prohibiting the use of fireworks between 23.00 hours and 07.00 hours.
Setting off fireworks in a public place is now a specific offence.
Fireworks can only be sold by licensed outlets. Do not buy fireworks from unlicensed traders.

New Scottish Government Firework Regulations

The regulations introduced by the Scottish Government include three new measures in relation to the way the general public can use and access fireworks. The new regulations:

Restriction on the time of day fireworks can be used by the general public to between 6pm and 11pm (subject to exempt dates detailed below).
restrict the times of day fireworks can be supplied to the general public to during the daytime hours of 7am and 6pm.
limit the quantity of fireworks that can be supplied to the general public to 5kg at any one time.

Restrictions on the time of day that the general public can use fireworks apply across Scotland throughout the year, apart from a number of exceptions set out within the regulations. From 30 June 2021, fireworks may only be used by the general public during the permitted hours of day between 6pm and 11pm. The exempted days when the general public can use fireworks out with permitted hours are:

5 November, when they can be used from 6pm until midnight
New Year’s Eve, the night of Chinese New Year and the night of Diwali, when they can be used from 6pm until 1am

Certain groups are exempt from the regulations and may use fireworks out with the permitted hours, between 7am and 6pm. The exempt groups are:

community groups, including charitable, religious, recreational and political organisations, who can continue to organise public displays between 7am and 6pm
professional organisers or operators of firework displays and their employees, who can continue to organise public displays in the course of their business or at a national public celebration or a national commemorative event between 7am and 6pm without the need for permission from the relevant local authority
businesses involved in the supply of fireworks and who use fireworks in connection with that business can continue to do so between 7am and 6pm
regulatory authorities can continue to use fireworks between the hours of 7am and 6pm in the exercise of their powers or duties in connection with the use and/or regulation of fireworks

There are different ways a community group can prove that they are organising a public display and fit within this exemption. For example, a local authority issued public entertainment licence or public liability insurance documents for the firework display could be used as evidence.

Police Scotland are responsible for enforcing regulations in relation to the use of fireworks, as set out within The Fireworks (Scotland) Regulations 2004, and this continues to apply.

Storage & Usage Of Fireworks

Store your fireworks in a box in a cool dry place away from children and animals as well as flames, heat or spark generating equipment.
Use portfires / tapers to light all of your fireworks. Matches can be unreliable.
Do not drink alcohol if setting off fireworks
Always light a firework at arms length. Never lean over or towards a firework when lighting it.
Never return to a firework that goes out or fails to fire fully.
Ensure your fireworks are well secured prior to lighting. They must not be allowed to fall over.
Rockets must be able to move freely within its firing tube and not obstructed at the top in any way.
Always angle your rockets a few degrees away from your audience. Be sure that your rocket sticks have a suitable and safe place to fall.
Stand upwind if possible otherwise you might be covered in fallout, including particles of paper and card.
Read and follow the instructions on every firework. These instructions do not replace common sense. If there is conflicting information or if you have any queries regarding setting up or firing your fireworks safely, ask before you use it.
Never put fireworks in your pocket.
Never throw fireworks at property, individuals or animals.

Sparklers

Ensure children are supervised at all times when they are using sparklers. The vast majority of reported firework injuries are related to burns from sparklers.
Light sparklers one at a time.
We recommend wearing gloves, never hold the burnt end and put used sparklers in a bucket of water.

Courtesy

Inform neighbours that you are having a firework display. They may need to make special arrangements for animals, children, elderly or sick people.
