Licenses will now be required all year round for muirburn - the controlled burning of vegetation,

Muirburn is the burning of vegetation to encourage new heather growth for grouse and other animals to feed on.

Muirburn can also directly affect wildlife, with the smoke causing nesting birds to desert their nests, and when done badly there is a risk of starting uncontrolled wildfires.

There is concern that estates will be unfairly denied licenses - and that the potential benefits of muirburn have not been fully recognised.

The independent review ahead of the legislation said muirburn can have "both positive and negative effects on carbon storage".
