The biggest fireworks display in the capital as ever takes place at Meadowbank Stadium, with doors opening at 6pm and entertainment from 6.30pm. Rockets commence at 7.30pm. Tickets are £6.50 - but you could always view the fireworks from nearby Holyrood Park for nothing.

DUNDEE

Head up to Lochee Park for the City of Discovery’s annual fireworks display and a bonfire night tomorrow. Entertainment begins 6pm with the main event beginning an hour later. There is no car parking at Lochee Park, so the council advises attendees either to walk or take public transport.

The town’s Pittencrieff Park - or the Glen as local calls it - is the place to be. The fireworks begin at 7pm but entertainment begins an hour earlier.

Make your November 5 go with a bang at St Maurice’s High School playing fields. This free event will light up the skies at 7.30pm.
