On Tuesday evening a heath fire blazed a swathe through Glen Nevis, damaging a large area of young native woodland. Though the popular crags are unaffected there are suggestions that it may have been arson
"Police have arrested a 39 year old man in connection with an investigation into a hill fire at Glen Tarbet on the 1st April 2013. The man is expected to appear at Fort William Sheriff Court on Monday 15th April 2013. A report will be submitted to the Procurator Fiscal."

In reply to Colin Moody: Yes I got a bus in the evening in the town centre and looked over to see that view right above my house. A tense couple of hours before the excellent efforts of the local retained and full time emergency services got it under control. Have to say that is the best spread of pics I've seen of it.
