A helicopter has been deployed and fire crews remain on standby to guard properties as wildfires continue to burn across the Scottish Highlands.
Crews are holding a watching brief over a significant fire in the hills north of Gairloch, on the north-west coast, to ensure no properties are at risk.

Quote:
A large fire near Fort William, which local MP Charles Kennedy described as unprecedented, has been extinguished.
The blaze broke out between Corpach and Banavie on Monday.
At one point the fire stretched for a distance of about three miles, covering an area of 650 hectares.
