An extreme risk warning for wildfires has been extended across mainland Scotland.
The Scottish Fire and Rescue Service said dry, warm weather was increasing the chance of fires breaking out.
It is asking people to be very careful with naked flames in the countryside.
Meanwhile, the latest Scottish Environment Protection Agency (Sepa) report shows that a lack of rain is causing water levels to fall in many rivers across the country.
Water scarcity is sweeping across Dumfries and Galloway and the Scottish Borders, up through the Firth of Forth and Firth of Tay and reaching all parts of Aberdeenshire.
Sepa said rivers around the Black Isle and Thurso were also affected.
The wildfire warning runs until Monday.
People are being asked to think of the consequences that fires sparked by cigarettes or barbeques can have on wildlife, agriculture and rural communities.
Last month a number of wildfires raged across the country and on Arran a fire destroyed 27,000 trees and killed hundreds of reptiles on Glen Rosa.
