Fire crews are battling a large blaze on Arthur's Seat in Edinburgh, with police urging the public to avoid the area.
A wildfire broke out on Sunday on Arthur's Seat, the extinct volcano overlooking Scotland's capital, spreading extensively across the landmark and producing smoke visible from miles away. The blaze is affecting one of the city’s most visited sites, popular with walkers and tourists.
Arthur's Seat, the highest point in Holyrood Park at about 250 metres above sea level, lies near Scotland's parliament and the end of Edinburgh’s Royal Mile. It offers panoramic views of the city and is a key attraction for visitors.
The Scottish Fire and Rescue Service said on X that crews were attending “a fire in the open at Arthur's Seat, Holyrood Park, Edinburgh.” Police have advised motorists and pedestrians to stay clear of the area.
The incident comes during one of Edinburgh’s busiest months for tourism, with the Edinburgh International arts festival, the Fringe comedy festival, and tour dates for the reunion of rock band Oasis drawing large crowds to the city.
