Firefighters battled for hours to save a nature reserve in Aberdeen from ruin.
Fire crews were tasked to the Kincorth Hill Nature Reserve, commonly known as the Gramps, shortly before 9pm on Friday.
Four appliances were called to the scene at the height of the blaze, which covered roughly 50 metres by 30 metres of land.
Crews battled for three hours to extinguish the flames.
