Wildfires have been burning in parts of the Highlands and Moray since Saturday

Firefighters are at the scene of wildfires on moorland in the north of Scotland for the fourth day in a row.

There have been multiple incidents in the Highlands and neighbouring Moray since Saturday, when a blaze broke out on Dava Moor, just north of Grantown-on-Spey.

Scottish Fire and Rescue Service (SFRS) crews have also tackled fires near Carrbridge.

On Monday morning a fire started in the Dallas area near Forres.

Thick smoke dominates the horizon in a picture taken from Kinloss in Moray.

BBC Weather Watchers have reported smoke from a wildfire near Carrbridge in the Highlands drifting for 40 miles (64km) across the Moray Firth.

But residents in Orkney have also reported smelling smoke carried miles north on the wind.

Moray Scottish Greens councillor Draeyk Van Der Horn also photographed smoke from a number of wildfires visible from a summit in the Cairngorms on Monday morning.

Early morning and evening skies over parts of north Scotland have been tinged orange by wildfire smoke.

Reporting from Dallas on Tuesday, BBC News reporter Ben Philip said: “The extent of the damage today can be seen clearly.

“A large area has been affected with black burnt out vegetation stretching beyond the horizon.

“There’s still a pungent smell of smoke. Many areas are still smouldering.”
