An investigation has been launched following a spate of deliberate fires in Aberdeenshire.

A number of items were set alight in Peterhead town centre during the early hours of Saturday.

The Scottish Fire and Rescue Service extinguished each of the blazes in Prince Street, Erroll Street and Drummers Corner.

There were no reports of any injuries.

The fires are all being treated as wilful and enquiries are ongoing.
