The Cairngorm National Park is being hugely affected and a national emergency has been declared due to the ongoing wildfires with the tinder dry conditions.
Although not on the doorstep we can’t help but feel for our nearby localities being affected. 🙏
Please take extra care when out and about in the Highlands. We are all praying for rain and the fires to dampen down very soon.
Thankful for our volunteers & local emergency fire service helping to cover when required 💙

Police Scotland has declared a major incident as emergency services continue to respond to the ongoing wildfire within the Cairngorms National Park.

The decision follows a significant change in weather conditions, with strengthening winds contributing to increased unpredictable fire behaviour and the spread of the wildfire towards Nethy Bridge.

As a precaution, all residents of Nethy Bridge are being evacuated to allow emergency services to continue their operational response safely and effectively. Residents are being directed to a dedicated respite centre at the Macdonald Aviemore Resort and access roads into Nethy Bridge have been closed.

Members of the public should continue to avoid the affected areas within the Cairngorms National Park. The area remains unsafe due to active firefighting operations, rapidly changing fire conditions and helicopter activity.

The following areas remain closed or subject to access restrictions:
• Paths around Glenmore, Loch Morlich and Badaguish.
• Low-level routes including the Old Logging Way and routes providing access to Cairngorm Mountain, the Northern Corries, Meall A' Bhuachaille, the Green Loch (Lochan Uaine), Strath Nethy and Bynack More.
• Paths within Abernethy Forest to the south of Forest Lodge towards Ryvoan Bothy.

Residents are urged to follow all advice issued by Police Scotland and emergency services.

Further updates will be provided as the situation develops.
