Flames are ravaging the coastal path this evening with crews trying desperately to put out the fire.
A fire is currently raging on a popular Scots coastal path, sparking an emergency response. The blaze is believed to have started sometime around 9pm on a coastal path in North Queensferry on Monday, May 4.
Mercy crews, including Scottish Fire and Rescue Service, rushed to the scene and it is understood personnel remain on site as firefighters battle to contain the flames.
Photos taken at the scene and shared with the Record show smoke billowing from the site which can be seen from the Forth Bridge coming from Edinburgh.
Fireman in full, florescent safety gear can be seen sprinting across the path as bright, angry, orange flames consume the green and gorse. Massive hoses are believed to be running along the coastal path.
Multiple blue-lit fire engines and marshal cars can be seen in the vicinity, including some stationed at the bottom of the brae of Ferryhills Road, which is understood to be blocked as a result of the inferno.
It is unclear how the fire started or if anyone was involved.
Scottish Fire and Rescue Service has yet to release a statement on the incident.
