Fire crews are responding to a huge blaze which has broken out on Arran this afternoon.
It broke out around 1pm in worth west Brodick.
Members of the public are being asked to stay away from footpaths into Glen Rosa and also the paths leading to Goatfell.
The Scottish Fire and Rescue Service is also issuing a fresh alert for wildfires from tomorrow.
A warning for extreme wildfires comes into force tomorrow and will stay in place until Saturday.
Deputy Assistant Chief Officer Kenny Barbour is Head of Prevention, Protection and Preparedness at SFRS. He said: "Wildfires have the potential to burn for days and they spread through vast areas of land in our countryside, which is devastating for those who live nearby.
"Our firefighters will continue to work with local landowners and other partners to bring these fires under control.
"As the warm and dry weather continues, so too does the risk of wildfire, and so we are asking the public to exercise extreme caution and think twice before using anything involving a naked flame.
"Responsible human behaviour can significantly lower the chance of a wildfire starting, so it is crucial that people act safely in rural environments and always follow the Scottish Outdoor Access Code."
