Geologists have been inspecting the rock faces above an Edinburgh road to assess whether it can be reopened following the Arthur’s Seat wildfires.
The High Road has been closed for more than six weeks since the huge blaze started on 10 August, during the Edinburgh Festival.
Historic Environment Scotland, which manages the royal park, said the fire had burnt away the gorse that stopped rocks falling on to the road below.
A geologist report is due in October. Park officials will then make a decision on whether the road, which is used by cyclists, runners and walkers, can be reopened.
