Flames take hold as fire burns on Arthur’s Seat

Firefighters are tackling a large fire on Arthur’s Seat in the centre of Edinburgh.

The blaze was seen spreading rapidly across the hill in the city’s Holyrood Park and police have urged people to stay away from the area.

Supporters at the Hibernian v Kilmarnock match have been told to avoid the Willowbrae, Duddingston and Holyrood areas when leaving the Easter Road stadium.

The Scottish Fire and Rescue Service have been contacted for comment.

Smoke has been billowing over the city during one of its busiest weekends of the year, with the Edinburgh Festival Fringe in full swing.

Oasis also played two sold-out concerts at Murrayfield on Friday and Saturday to around 70,000 fans. The band will return to play a third date on Tuesday.

The Scottish Fire and Rescue Service has issued several wildfires warnings this year.

All of Scotland experienced water scarcity in May, with Scottish Water warning of the driest start to the year since 1964.

The Edinburgh blaze follows a recent spate of wildfires in the Highlands, considered “the biggest Scotland has ever seen”, during a particularly warm and dry summer.
