Firefighters were on Sunday tackling a blaze on Arthur’s Seat, a landmark dormant volcano in Edinburgh, Scotland.

A large fire on Arthur’s Seat in Edinburgh was likely started by human activity, fire chiefs have said. Emergency services were alerted to the blaze just after 4pm on Sunday, as smoke billowed into the sky from the extinct volcano in Holyrood Park.

Firefighters worked overnight to tackle the blaze on the hill overlooking the Scottish capital. There were no reports of injuries.
