Summary
A wildfire in the Cairngorms National Park is forcing evacuations, closing a lane on the A9, and blanketing nearby roads in smoke—despite firefighters battling the blaze for two days. Over 300 hectares have burned, with RSPB staff and volunteers aiding crews, though no helicopters are available. No injuries reported, but with Scotland under a high wildfire alert due to extreme heat and dryness, officials urge caution and constant monitoring as the situation remains critical.
