However, a recent court case, external heard that the petrol station on Calder Road was targeted with fireworks, and rockets were also set off near a petrol tanker.
The neighbouring Sighthill Fire Station was also in lockdown due to the unrest, resulting in crews unable to leave or return to the station.
Neither site is covered by the Sighthill’s control zone this year.
Dr Nick McKerrell, senior lecturer in law at Glasgow Caledonian University, said the control zones could be seen as a deterrent.
“In theory it’s a good idea to localise laws as much as possible because communities can get involved,” he said.
“The difficulty is the detail.”
He said that where a law states it is a crime to do something in one area but not in another, it has to be “very specific on the reasons for the limitations.
“That’s why this is a big test.”
Edinburgh is not the only council in Scotland to enforce firework control zones this year.
They will also be introduced in Glasgow following a failed attempt to implement zones in 2024. The areas of Govanhill, Pollokshields and Broomhouse will be covered by restrictions from 1 to 10 November.
