We stuck a GoPro in the middle of last night’s Lochee fireworks this is what it looked like

Thousands of people braved chilly conditions to see official firework displays at Baxter Park and Lochee Park light up the Dundee sky.

Our video man David McCann was there to capture all the action.

As well as filming from the crowd, he was given special permission by the organisers to place a GoPro camera among the rows of fireworks giving a unique close-up perspective on the spectacular display.

Despite temperatures dropping to a nippy four degrees, both shows, which began at 7pm, proved as popular as previous years.

Bonfires were also lit to mark the beginning of the colourful festivities.

David Malcolm, 42, said he was delighted with the display.

He said: “It was great. My two boys really enjoyed it.

“It was a little cold but we wrapped up well and just enjoyed the show.”

Hundreds of fireworks were also set off by residents around the city, with explosions ringing across Dundee for much of the night.

A spokesman for Scottish Fire and Rescue said that the service had dealt with a number of unauthorised bonfires.
