A-ten-year-old boy and a man in his mid-forties are among 32 people that have been charged for causing trouble on Bonfire Night across Edinburgh.

The worst of the disorder unfolded in Niddrie, Gracemount and Sighthill on November 5.

Fireworks and objects, including bricks and bottles, were thrown at emergency services workers.

Police have said 79 charges have been brought against those involved.

Edinburgers have also been thanked by the force for assisting them in their investigation.

Chief Superintendent David Robertson, Divisional Commander for Edinburgh said: “What we’ve seen in the wake of the disorder that took place, is a genuine desire from communities to support our efforts to identify the individuals who caused fear and alarm and hold them to account for their actions and I’m extremely grateful to everyone who has assisted our investigations.

“I made it clear that we would be unrelenting in our pursuit of those responsible for the fear, alarm and damage that was caused within parts of Edinburgh on Bonfire Night and I am reaffirming that commitment today.

“If you think you have evaded justice because we have not yet contacted you, it’s only a matter of time.

“Members of the public with video or photographic evidence can still submit this via the Major Incident Public Portal at https://mipp.police.uk/operation/SCOT24S16-PO1.

"Similarly, anyone with any further information can contact us on 101, or make an anonymous report to the charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.”
