Fires in Fife

Hi all!

Does anyone know what the particular policies/regulations on having fires in Fife/St Andrews is? Argos has all of these nice outdoor stoves. Is it legal to put one of these on my patio and have outdoor fires?

On your own land, as long as you're burning appropriate fuel - charcoal, logs, smokeless fuel - and not causing a nuisance with smoke, you'd probably be OK. (Just don't try burning rubbish, leaves, etc.)

For anywhere else, check the Scottish Outdoor Access Code:
Wherever possible, use a stove rather than light an open fire. If you do wish to light an open fire, keep it small, under control and supervised – fires that get out of control can cause major damage, for which you might be liable. Never light an open fire during prolonged dry periods or in areas such as forests, woods, farmland, or on peaty ground or near to buildings or in cultural heritage sites where damage can be easily caused. Heed all advice at times of high risk. Remove all traces of an open fire before you leave.
