Fire crews are battling a wildfire in the grounds of Lews Castle in Stornoway.
Two appliances from Stornoway, one from Tarbert and one from Shawbost have been fighting the fire since it was reported at around 12.20pm.
Around one acre is affected, including an area of well established woodland.
Firefighters are tackling the blaze with knapsack sprayers, fire beaters and four main jets.
Incident commander, station manager Steve Oliver, said: “It’s a fairly small area of fire, but it has gone into established woodland so we are fighting it aggressively on two flanks at present to extinguish it as quickly as possible.
“The crews are working on undulating ground, which is difficult, but are doing an excellent job.”
