Cows rescued in farm blaze

Cattle had to be rescued from a farm shed after a blaze broke out at a farm on the outskirts of Blairgowrie this morning.

Fire crews were called to Wester Drumlochy Farm around 6.40am.

A 125-metre long agricultural shed used to house cattle, machinery and hay bales was found to be well ablaze.

The cows were removed safely from the building and firefighters used two jet hosereels to douse the flames.

The shed was extensively damaged by the fire. Firefighters are still in attendance.
