Edinburgh's Inferno: A Warning Sign for Scotland's Wildfire Season The recent blaze on Arthur's Seat in Edinburgh, one of Scotland's most iconic landmarks, has left many wondering if the country is doing enough to prevent devastating wildfires.
The inferno, which raged throughout Sunday night and into Monday morning, was just the latest in a string of wildfires that have plagued Scotland during its prolonged warm and dry spell.
The Scottish Fire and Rescue Service (SFRS) has been stretched to the limit, with six appliances attending to the Edinburgh fire and hundreds more deployed to tackle the massive blaze in the Cairngorms National Park.
