A national forestry agency has been left “very angry” after a fire broke out in a Highland Perthshire wooded area due to an overturned disposable barbecue.
Sunday’s fire at Loch Rannoch, near but not in the Blackwoods of Rannoch, was discovered before it had a chance to catch and was dealt with by council rangers who were assisted by two members of the public.
Several young men are reported to have arrived at the site by car and lit the barbecue that, initial impressions suggest, was later kicked over.
