Fifteen fire crews are today battling three major wildfires in the Highlands – while police issued an appeal to trace people seen at the scene of one of the blazes.
Officers are trying to find the occupants of two campervans after a large wildfire, initially about 500 metres in length, took hold in Upper Diabaig, Torridon, this morning.
Police Scotland is investigating the cause of the fire and want to trace the two vehicles seen in the area.
The first is a small red van which two men had been travelling in and the second is a white camper van believed to have a Dutch registration.
A police spokesman said: “Officers would like to speak to any persons who may have been in the area and may have witnessed anything suspicious. In particular officers are appealing to trace two males who were seen in the area around that time.”
A spokeswoman for the fire service said three appliances were called to the scene at around 10am.
Meanwhile, six fire crews were called to another wildfire off the A863 near the Sligachan Hotel on Skye at around 9.50am to attend to a wildfire covering two miles.
Three appliances were also sent to another blaze at Achintee, near Strathcarron, at 2pm to tackle a blaze covering 300 square metres.
