The Act Muirburn licences Section 15—Muirburn licences: content and conditions
85.Section 15(1) sets out the basic information that every muirburn licence must contain.
86.Subsection (2) states the conditions attached to all muirburn licences, which are:
	the person to whom the licence is issued must have regard to the Muirburn Code (see section 18),
	a person intending to make muirburn must also have regard to the Muirburn Code, complete a training course approved under section 17 before making muirburn and must also comply with section 19 (which relates to notice requirements).
87.Subsection (3) allows the Scottish Ministers to attach further conditions to a muirburn licence. Subsection (4) provides an illustrative list of what further conditions might be attached. The list includes conditions about complying with certain provisions of the Muirburn Code, which would create a stronger requirement to abide by those provisions than the general condition attached to all licences to have regard to the Code.
88.Failure to comply with the conditions of a muirburn licence may be a criminal offence under section 12(1) if it results in muirburn being made otherwise than in accordance with the licence’s terms.
