An Edinburgh dog walker has been left fuming after two kids set off fireworks in a local park in broad daylight.
Gail Nicol said the two youngsters in hoodies set off the fireworks around 4.30pm in the popular dog walking spot in St Margarets Park before running away.
There were a number of dog walkers in the park at the time which is near a busy road, and the dog walker warned it could have been fatal if the canines were spooked.

The video shows the two yobs running away after setting off fireworks and you can hear the dogs barking distressed.
Due to recent legislation setting fireworks off outside of 6pm and 11pm is now illegal in Scotland. You also have to be over 16 to buy fireworks.
Speaking to Edinburgh Live Gail said: “I went to my local park as I have two wee dogs and I meet other people in the park with their dogs all of the time.
“It was only about 4.30 in the afternoon, then all of a sudden loud bangs and sparks everywhere.
“It made it worse as the kids set the fireworks off in the trees at the back wall.
“Then I managed to get my phone out and recorded, thank god all the dogs were ok as it was near a busy road.
“I didn't report it as Facebook is a powerful thing nowadays as I found out the details of the boys.”
“If these are your children, they have just set fireworks off in St Margaret's park while dogs are in the park. Your kids are bang out of order get them told how stupid they are.”
One local said: “Would their parents think it was okay if they had their fingers blown off?”
Another exclaimed: “I think the general consensus is that kids can do whatever they like without repercussions.”
While one added: “Also, what idiot supplied these kids with the fireworks?”
