A number of fire crews had been scrambled on Monday night (October 11) after a blaze broke out on Arthur's Seat.
Emergency services were called out to the scene after reports were made shortly before 8pm that a fire had sparked on the side of the iconic landmark.
Images taken of the flames have showed a bright orange glow shining through the night from some distance away, with crews attending the south facing side of the hill.
Plumes of smoke were also spotted rising from the beauty spot, however the blaze was quickly brought under control.
Shortly after arriving, the SFRS were able to control the incident, with three appliances sent to the scene according to the Daily Record.
