A fire is burning at Achosnich at the moment, and fire engines are on scene.With the continuing dry weather more hill fires were almost inevitable, but the stiff northerly wind is likely to make controlling this one very difficult.
Many thanks to Richard O'Connor for the picture
When I was a shepherd we set the hills on fire ,this eradicated the old heather and brought on good grazing for cattle and sheep, also killed off adders which often bit the young calves, fire engines how times have changed
