Wot's a firewall ?

It's an American expression for a Compartment (or Party) wall, which
was adopted by the computer industry. In the context of the above
post, it would be a wall having the same period of fire resistance as
that required for a party wall, ie, 60 minutes. I don't know the
Scottish regulations, but I suspect there will be a limit on the
maximum unprotected area within 1m of the boundary (of usually no more
than 1m²).
