Campers have been slammed for leaving a “quite ridiculous” fire smouldering at a Stewartry beauty spot.
Loch Ken Trust rangers Ken Scott and Leanne Pumpr discovered the fire still alight deep in the remains of a dead tree on the west side of the loch on Thursday.
They dowsed the smouldering tree with water to ensure there was no further danger of it igniting the surrounding tinder dry undergrowth.
