Fires have been burning for days at Glen Rosa on Arran<\/figcaption><\/p>\n<\/figure>\n

An extreme wildfire warning covering all of Scotland is in place for a final day, with rain showers due in parts of the country on Sunday.<\/p>\n

The Scottish Fire and Rescue Service (SFRS) said crews remained at the scene of ongoing wildfires and urged the public to “act responsibly”.<\/p>\n

On the Isle of Arran mountain rescuers said pockets of fire continue to burn on Glen Rosa and have told hillwalkers to avoid the area.<\/p>\n

A fire has also been burning for two days in Acharacle in the Highlands, and two fire crews at the scene.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Police Scotland has also asked people to avoid the area of a wildfire on Isle of Bute. The blaze began at about 11:40 at the Rhubodach Loop, just off the A886.<\/p>\n

The SFRS issued the wildfire warning during a long period of unseasonably dry weather.<\/p>\n

Temperatures have been well above the April average and Thursday was the warmest day of the year so far in Scotland – reaching 23C (73F ) in Aboyne, Aberdeenshire.<\/p>\n

Sunday will mark a return to more typical April conditions. <\/p>\n

Met Office chief meteorologist Jason Kelly said: “A change is on the way this weekend, as we say goodbye to the wall-to-wall sunshine. <\/p>\n

“High pressure sinks southwards and allows low pressure to take hold bringing more cloud, rain and showers, and also lower temperatures.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The Glen Rosa fire on the Isle of Arran was reported at about 13:00 on Thursday. Three crews were sent to the scene, with one remaining on Saturday morning.<\/p>\n

A helicopter is expected to assess the damage from the air later.<\/p>\n

Police have told hillwalkers there will be no access to the popular Goatfell walk due to public safety.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, dampening down work has concluded after a large grass fire in Cumbernauld in Lanarkshire, which had been burning since Thursday.<\/p>\n

It led to the overnight evacuation of a dog kennel and cattery.<\/p>\n

Owner Eran Yehudai told BBC Scotland News he had to evacuate 25 dogs and 10 cats from the premises.<\/p>\n

The SFRS said the last crew left the scene at 08:30.<\/p>\n

On Friday, firefighters contained a wild blaze on an area of dunes and grass near near the St Fergus Gas Terminal in Peterhead.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
