We hope everyone is enjoying the outdoors at Rothiemurchus. With the current dry conditions and a wildfire warning in place, we are asking everyone to take extra care.
Earlier this week, we dealt with a fire at Lochan Mòr. Thankfully, it was contained quickly, and the site will continue to be monitored for flare-ups over the coming weeks.
Our experienced ranger team is out daily, chatting to and welcoming visitors and looking after Rothiemurchus, but we all have a part to play in preventing wildfires. If you see smoke or any sign of fire, please call 999 immediately.
Please continue to come and enjoy Rothiemurchus responsibly. By taking care, we can ensure this incredible landscape remains safe for wildlife, local communities and visitors alike.
