An East Lothian beauty spot has been left tarnished after a fire destroyed a huge section of it following a rogue firework.
Local countryside rangers in the Whitesands area took to social media this week to remind locals that the area should be preserved and taken care of after they discovered the blaze.
Although mostly burnt out by Tuesday, November 15, a large section of the dunes had been completely burnt out, with the long grasses turned to ash.
