The Highland wildfire happened this time last year and destroyed acres of land and wildlife

An RSPB nature reserve devastated by a wildfire that ripped through the Scottish Highlands is showing promising signs of recovery.

The wildfire began on the last weekend of May last year near Cannich, to the south-west of Inverness, and was suspected to have been started by a camping stove on the nearby Glen Affric and Kintail way.

A few weeks of sunny dry weather meant the blaze spread rapidly and covered 11sqkm - about 1,100 hectares.
