Firefighters are spending a second day tackling a wildfire in a forest.
The blaze in Culbin Forest near Forres in Moray was reported to the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service at 8.37am on Monday.
At the height of the incident more than 25 firefighters were involved in tackling the blaze which measured around 800 by 500 metres late on Monday afternoon.
One fire appliance remained at the forest overnight and three more went to the scene on Tuesday morning.
There were no reports of any injuries.
Members of the public have been asked to avoid the area, and people who live nearby are advised to close windows and doors due to the smoke.
The fire broke out while an “extreme” risk of wildfire warning was in place across Scotland.
The Scottish Fire and Rescue Service warning came into force on Thursday May 15 and was in place until Monday May 19.
