Gun crime in Angus and Fife has gone up amid a national fall in the offences.
A record low of 332 crimes across Scotland were alleged to have involved a firearm in 2015/16, which is 7% down on the previous year, official figures show.
However, gun offences in Fife increased from 30 to 36, while Angus witnessed a rise from 5 to 11.
The figures, which were published by the Scottish Government on Tuesday, showed that such offences in Dundee and Perth & Kinross continued their long-term decline this year.
Air weapons were the most commonly-used firearm in last year’s offences, but figures are expected to drop further when tighter regulation comes into force at the end of the year.
From December 31 it will be illegal for anyone to possess or use an air weapon without a licence under the Air Weapon and Licensing (Scotland) Act 2015.
Other weapons used in last year’s incidents included rifles, shotguns, pistols and imitation guns.
In more than a third of the incidents, guns were not fired but used to threaten, with the majority of weapons brandished in homes or roads.
Nationally, the number of crimes involving firearms has plummeted over the past decade, from 1,260 to 332.
However, Fife saw only a marginal decrease from 39 in 2006/7 to 36 in 2015/16.
The number of deaths or injuries caused by firearms has also reduced, falling in the last year from 48 in 2014/15 to 35 in 2015/16.
Justice Secretary Michael Matheson said: “Today’s figures show excellent progress is being made to tackle the scourge of gun crime in Scotland.
“I am particularly pleased that the number of people killed or injured by firearms continues to fall.
“One offence involving a firearm is too many and we cannot be complacent. We will continue to work with police and the courts to eradicate gun crime.
“It is encouraging to see air weapons being used in fewer crimes but they still account for half of the firearms involved in offending.
“Our new air weapons licensing laws, which come into force at the end of this year, will better protect our communities by taking these weapons out of the hands of those who would misuse them.”
