A section of the Pentland Hills on the outskirts of Edinburgh caught fire on Thursday afternoon as fire crews rushed to the scene.
Images show a section of hills facing Fairmilehead ablaze due to a suspected 'wildfire' shortly before 4pm on April 20. Clouds of smoke can be seen rising above homes in the Swanston area.
The famous hills, where wildfires occasionally break out, are a popular destination for cyclists and hikers, especially during the warmer summer months.
