## Summary

Seven people were arrested in Glasgow after Bonfire Night disorder across Scotland, where fireworks were thrown at emergency crews and members of the public, and a police vehicle was set alight. A police officer and an ambulance worker suffered minor injuries in Glasgow; the incidents prompted Police Scotland to mount its largest officer deployment since Donald Trump’s visit to Aberdeenshire in 2025.

Attacks and disorder were reported in Glasgow, Clydebank, Cumnock, Larkhall, Blackridge, Edinburgh and Dundee. Police brought in officers from forces in England and Wales, while the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service received more than 800 calls about fireworks and bonfires between 5.30pm and 11.30pm on 5 November. Police logged 1,024 fireworks-related calls between Halloween and Bonfire Night, up from 833 in 2025, but said fewer incidents needed a specialist public order response.
