A wildfire broke out on Edinburgh's iconic landmark, Arthur's Seat, on Sunday afternoon, burning large areas of gorse and sending smoke drifting across the city. The blaze has triggered a major emergency response, with parts of Holyrood Park closed and nearby routes restricted.
According to the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service (SFRS), crews have been working through the night to contain the flames, which spread rapidly in strong winds and dry summer conditions. Authorities have urged residents and visitors to stay away while they work to protect nearby heritage sites, residential areas and walking routes.
