A BISHOP has told how Scotland’s Catholics now embrace Guy Fawkes Night, despite its links to anti-Catholicism.

- By Douglas Dickie

Guy Fawkes Night, or Bonfire Night, marks the failed gunpowder plot of 1605 when mercenary Guy Fawkes and his men floundered in their bid to blow up the houses of parliament, and Protestant King James VI of Scotland.

As a result, November 5 was used for many years to express anti-Pope and anti-Catholic sentiment.
