Update on Monday, 30 June, at 5.50pm:

The Scottish Fire and Rescue Service are in attendance at several wildfire incidents from Carrbridge in Highland to Dallas, outside Forres in Moray.

A significant number of resources and special resources have been mobilised throughout the area.

Area Commander Michael Humphreys is the Scottish Fire and Rescue Services Wildfire Lead. He said: “We are currently in attendance at a number of wildfires across a wide ranging area, from Carrbridge in Highland to Dallas in Forres.

“Due to strong winds, a significant plume of smoke is spreading into nearby residential areas. If you can see the smoke, please make sure your windows and doors are closed.

“I would ask that the public be mindful of the real risk of wildfire, and don’t light fires, stoves or BBQs. Leaving litter behind, or dropping cigarettes hugely increases the risk of wildfires.

“I would like to thank all of our firefighters who have attended incidents throughout the area across the weekend and into today.”
