Firefighters are tackling a large fire on Arthur’s Seat in the centre of Edinburgh.<\/p>\n

The blaze was seen spreading rapidly across the hill in the city’s Holyrood Park and police have urged people to stay away from the area.<\/p>\n

Supporters at the Hibernian v Kilmarnock match have been told to avoid the Willowbrae, Duddingston and Holyrood areas when leaving the Easter Road stadium.<\/p>\n

The Scottish Fire and Rescue Service have been contacted for comment.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

It follows a recent spate of wildfires in the Highlands<\/a>, considered “the biggest Scotland has ever seen”, during a particularly warm and dry summer.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
