Tour Scotland travel compilation video of November 5th Fireworks Displays on Guy Fawkes Night and bonfire night visit to South Inch Park by the River Tay in the city of Perth, Perthshire. Guy Fawkes Night, also known as Guy Fawkes Day, Bonfire Night and Firework Night, is an annual commemoration observed on 5 November, primarily in Great Britain. Its history begins with the events of 5 November 1605, when Guy Fawkes, a member of the Gunpowder Plot, was arrested while guarding explosives the plotters had placed beneath the House of Lords. Celebrating the fact that King James I had survived the attempt on his life, people lit bonfires around London; and months later, the introduction of the Observance of 5th November Act enforced an annual public day of thanksgiving for the plot's failure. Scotland's first recorded use of fireworks was below Edinburgh Castle in 1540, a fireworks display to celebrate the coronation of Mary of Guise, mother to Mary Queen of Scots, which was commissioned by King James V. According to the Accounts of the Lord High Treasurer from that year, James V himself played a role in putting the display together.
