Fire crews are expected to remain at the site of a large wildfire at Arthur's Seat in Edinburgh "for a couple of days" after flames tore through the grassland for the second time this summer on Sunday evening.Plumes of smoke could be seen as far as Fife as the fire broke out below Salisbury Crags in Edinburgh at 6.40pm, with flames still burning on Monday morning as areas were scorched black.Six fire engines were sent to tackle the fires overnight, with the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service confirming there were "no reported casualties," as Police Scotland closed nearby roads to all vehicles.The iconic landmark attracts more than 3.5 million tourists a year, with the wildfire hitting just weeks after a separate blaze forced hikers to flee the scene.
