Fire crews battled through the night to tackle a barn fire at a farm south of Forfar.

The alarm was raised shortly after 9.30am on Saturday when hay bales caught fire at a property near Kinnettles Castle.

Two fire appliances, one from Forfar and one from Kingsway in Dundee, were dispatched.

Police closed the B9127 road off the A90 to allow crews to work at the scene.

A Scottish Fire and Rescue Service spokesperson said: “We received an alert at 9.35am to a barn on fire at Kinnettles near Forfar.

“Two appliances were dispatched, one from Forfar and another from Kingsway station in Dundee.

“On arrival, officers found a storage of bales alight.

“There are no reports of any injuries.”

Crews remained at the scene into Sunday.

Police Scotland confirmed the B9127 reopened on Sunday evening after the blaze.
