Wildfire blazes overnight at Moray wind farm

A WILDFIRE has continued to blaze overnight at a wind farm in Moray.

Emergency services were first called to the scene near Knockando at around 5.28pm on Sunday.

The Scottish Fire and Rescue Service (SFRS) dispatched one appliance to the scene, with a second requested at around 8pm.

The wind farm, called Paul's Hill Windfarm, consists of 28 turbines south west of Elgin.

The turbine towers are 58.5m tall and carry turbines with a roto diameter of 82m.

Fire crews continued to battle the blaze overnight.

The SFRS said on Monday that the blaze "continued to grow" due to strong winds.

Two appliances remain at the scene.
