This document contains the Cairngorms National Park Authority's Fire Management Byelaws for 2025. These byelaws, which are in effect from 1 April to 30 September, outline what is considered an offense related to fire and barbecues within the National Park. Specifically, it is against the rules to light or tend a fire or use a barbecue without permission, unless it is safely contained within a private home, a bothy, a licensed caravan site, or private property, with the appropriate safeguards and permissions. The byelaws do not prevent the use of camping stoves or gas barbecues if they are used safely and do not cause a fire hazard. It is also an offense to refuse to provide personal details to an authorised person who suspects a byelaw has been broken, and anyone breaking these byelaws could face a fine.
