Firefighters were working through the night to tackle a wildfire that was "almost a mile" wide in Moray.
Thirteen crews, a helicopter and more than 50 firefighters were called to the fire between Bridge of Avon and Glenlivet at 3pm on Wednesday, with the blaze shutting down the nearby B9008 road due to safety concerns.
One local said that the high winds caused the blaze to grow out of control, causing a "fire front of almost a mile".
