Firefighters are still on the scene and an area commander says there are "adequate resources" to deal with the incident.

Firefighters are spending a third day tackling a major wildfire which has led to evacuations in the Cairngorms. The blaze started in heathland at Ryvoan Bothy, near Nethy Bridge, late on Wednesday morning and had spread across 3.7 miles (6km) by Thursday afternoon. A number of homes and businesses, including campsites and a ski resort in the Glenmore Forest Park area have been closed and evacuated as a safety precaution. A helicopter joined the firefighting efforts on Thursday night. Nine fire appliances and specialist resources remained at the scene on Friday morning. The Scottish Fire and Rescue Service (SFRS) said it was facing a "protracted incident" as it sought to prevent the flames spreading to other areas, but added that it had "adequate resources" to deal with the incident. Along with landowners, fire crews have been creating fire breaks to contain the spread. Michael Byrne, a climate scientist at St Andrews University, told the BBC that more rainfall during the winter plus overall warming was leading to an increasing threat of wildfires in Scotland. On Thursday, Justice Secretary Neil Gray, whose ministerial responsibilities include the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service (SFRS), said the fire was "currently contained" thanks to "exceptional work of firefighters".
