Major Wildfire Erupts at Edinburgh’s Arthur’s Seat

A major wildfire broke out at Arthur’s Seat, Edinburgh's landmark in Holyrood Park, on Sunday afternoon at 4:05pm, with smoke visible from miles away. The Scottish Fire and Rescue Service responded with three fire appliances and specialist teams to combat the rapidly spreading fire. Eyewitnesses reported tourists and locals fleeing the area as smoke quickly covered the surroundings. Authorities have advised the public to avoid nearby neighborhoods, especially following the Hibernian v Kilmarnock football match, due to ongoing emergency efforts. The cause of the fire remains unknown, though Arthur’s Seat has experienced several similar wildfires in recent years. Emergency services continue to monitor and address the situation as updates are expected.
