Edinburgh firefighters tackle blaze at beauty spot as smoke seen pouring from bin

Fire crews have been pictured in a popular beauty spot in Edinburgh in response to a blaze that took place on Monday evening.

The incident is confirmed to have been a bin that was alight as one appliance was mobilised to The Meadows at around 8.30pm on Monday, May 29.

This comes as the bank holiday brought blue sunny skies and high temperatures. The Meadows quickly becomes a hotspot for Edinburgh residents wanting to sit out in the sun for the day.
