Fire crews still tackling massive Scots wildfire 'covering an area a mile long'

Fire crews are continuing to tackle a wildfire near Inverness which has burned throughout the night and reportedly covers an area a mile long.

Six fire engines remain near the village of Daviot in the Highlands after the fire broke out at around 2.45pm on Saturday. Emergency crews warned people nearby to stay indoors and close all windows and doors to prevent smoke inhalation yesterday.

Meanwhile, on social media, people in Inverness reported being able to smell smoke during the night. Duncan Macpherson, a Highland councillor for Inverness South, said firefighters were facing an “almighty challenge” on Saturday night.
