The A90 has reopened after a bus carrying 33 passengers caught fire near Brechin.
Emergency services were scrambled to the scene shortly before 5pm on Sunday after the Citylink service – using a third party operator – burst into flames.
Police, who closed the road in both directions whilst the fire was brought under control, confirmed one passenger sustained a minor leg burn but there were no serious injuries.
All on board, including the driver, were evacuated from the service bound for Aberdeen.
The Scottish Fire and Rescue Service said three crews were in attendance on the northbound carriageway.
Firefighters used one hose reel jet to tackle the blaze before it was brought under control just after 6.30pm.
The road was reopened about 7.45pm.
One passenger injured in bus fire
Grant McGaughay, divisional inspector for Brechin and Kirriemuir, said: “Thankfully the driver and all passengers quickly evacuated the bus and nobody was seriously injured.
“One passenger sustained a minor leg injury but did not require treatment.
“Our partners at Scottish Fire and Rescue were quick to respond and brought the fire under control quickly and safely at a challenging location.
“I’d like to thank the public who were delayed in the closure for their patience during this incident.”
