Changing weather has made efforts to tackle the ongoing wildfire in the Cairngorms National Park more difficult, John Swinney has said.

The First Minister urged people in the affected region to follow advice from the emergency services and respect the exclusion zone around the fire, which has been burning for more than a week.
