IT'S the morning after the night before as Glasgow wakes up to the aftermath of a Guy Fawkes like no other.
Social distancing rules ensured all organised events across the city were cancelled, meaning locals had to stay at home to get their fireworks fix.
For many, it was a Bonfire Night of joy, some sort of normality in uncertain times. For others, sadly, it was an excuse to go overboard and fire chiefs this morning have reported 13 attacks on personnel in Scotland.
Assistant Chief Officer Stuart Stevens, SFRS director of service delivery, praised fire crews but condemned attacks on emergency workers.
He said: "Bonfire Night is traditionally one of our busiest nights of the year.
"Our frontline crews and operations control personnel and support staff have shown extreme dedication over this period and I would like to pay tribute to their professionalism and resilience.
"I must also thank our partners and indeed communities across Scotland for their continuing support."
He added: "Attacks on emergency service workers are completely unacceptable.
"This type of behaviour not only prevents our crews from bringing any emergency to a safe and swift conclusion, but it can impact on our emergency service colleagues, including the police, when they must escort us at the scene."
While the vast majority of people in the city stuck to the rules and looked out for others, some appeared to take it a step too far and one clip posted online appeared to show fireworks hitting a building in Park Circus.
