Does anyone know if its legal to burn muck heaps? Or where I could find any regulations etc/ about this?
Were in Scotland if that makes any difference!

No, it's not really legal, but if you're well off the main roads then go ahead - we used to do it all the time
(apologies if I've offended any environmentalists!)

Ours gets taken away in the summer but in the winter it smoulders away.... Unless the rain puts it out of course!!

I would check with your local council. I think it may be against environmental regs.

it's illegal but if you have no neighbours i would set fire to it and then if anyone complains tell them it was local yobs

A few years ago i had a muck heap in the field i was renting. We used to burn it about twice a year. Ended up with a letter from the council as someone had complained about the smell. The letter did not say i was doing anything illegal but i was to be more considerate when doing it wind directions etc. Got my own back though as they used to frequently (every month) burn garden rubbish from a very large garden which makes a massive amount of smoke, it completely covered the road and was dangerous so i reported them!!!
