Firefighters have spent a second day tackling a wildfire which has led to the evacuation of residents in the Cairngorms.
The wildfire started in heathland at Ryvoan Bothy, near Nethy Bridge, late on Wednesday morning and stretched more than 3.5km wide by Thursday morning.
A number of homes and businesses, including campsites and ski resorts in the Glenmore Forest Park area, have been closed and evacuated as a safety precaution.
Smoke could be seen for miles around the site of the fire on Thursday morning, as at least four fire engines and other resources were tackling the blaze.
There have been no reports of any casualties.
Here are eight images of the wildfire.
