Wildfires are continuing to burn across the UK, with the emergency services warning of an "extreme" risk caused by the warmer weather.
Crews in Scotland have been dealing with a large grass fire at Gartur Moss in Port of Menteith, Stirling, after the alarm was raised on Wednesday.
The Scottish fire and rescue service (SFRS) said the blaze stretched half a kilometre and there was a continued "very high to extreme" risk of wildfire across the country over the weekend. People have been asked not to light outdoor fires.
