Extreme wildfire warning issued across Scotland due to dry conditions

About 30,000 acres of land in Moray and Highland were burned a fortnight ago.

An extreme wildfire warning has been issued as Scotland bakes in the heat this weekend, and it’s not just on land; the Coastguard has also put out a warning for people to be aware of the risks at sea.

Temperatures could hit 30 degrees in some places tomorrow, and fire chiefs say there’s a high risk of a wildfire near Grantown reigniting.
