Parts of the wildfire cordon around a village in the Cairngorms are being lifted, according to reports from multiple outlets. The fire started on 15 July and continues to burn, with authorities describing ongoing activity in peatland underground. Because of the nature of peat fires—where burning can persist below the surface—officials maintain some level of control measures in the wider area even as restrictions are eased in parts closer to the village. The update reflects a change in the status of safety arrangements rather than an announcement that the fire is fully contained. While the lifted sections reduce the immediate exclusion zone, the reports indicate that the incident remains active due to continued underground combustion in the peat. Further changes to the cordon depend on monitoring of conditions and the behaviour of the fire over time. No additional details about injuries, evacuations, or damage are included in the information provided by the sources.
