It’s the busiest night of the year for the emergency services, and Police Scotland has promised a crackdown after previous years saw disorder break out around the country.
The force launched Operation Moonbeam earlier this month to tackle crimes involving fireworks across the Bonfire Night period.
In a bid to stop anti-social behaviour after a series of incidents targeting emergency workers in recent years, Firework Control Zones (FCZs) are active in Edinburgh and Glasgow.
Police will enforce "dispersal zones" in certain areas where crowds may gather, and this year marks the first time officers will be equipped with body-worn video cameras.
Officers will enforce the restrictions and anyone found breaching them can face up to six months in prison and a fine of up to £5,000.
The Scottish Fire and Rescue Service (SFRS), meanwhile, intends to take a "zero-tolerance" approach to disorder when responding to incidents on Bonfire Night.
