Excellent photo that shows the problem with Holyrood Park. It's the gorse, not the grass, that burns. Not enough resources to properly deal with the gorse. So this will happen again and again with all the attendant costs and implications for wildlife and human health.

The hill(s) I will die on. Arthur's Seat & Salisbury Crags are separate hills. Separate geologically, topographically and on Ordnance Survey maps. Yesterday's fire was on the slopes of Salisbury Crags. Many news sources, the fire service & even Historic Environment Scotland have got this wrong!

Good. Looks like just about all the gorse has burned from beneath Salisbury Craigs. But it will just grow back, and fires will continue. What's the cost of the emergency response, the lost wildlife and biodiversity and cost to human health of the smoke? Should the gorse be managed differently?

Happy (other) birthday to James Hutton, born on this day, 14th June 1726, in the calendar used in most of Europe at the time. During Hutton's life, Britain caught up by missing 11 days of 1752. Nice to be following in his footsteps today, exploring the granite boundary in northern hills of Arran.
