Firefighters battled a large hillside fire at Abernethy for more than six hours on Saturday.
Four appliances were called to the scene shortly after 2pm following reports of the hillside on fire.
A local resident described seeing flames burning throughout Saturday afternoon and how the windy conditions looked to be hindering efforts of the fire service to get close.
She said: “The fire started from the Glenfoot hill end around 2pm and spread across the hill throughout the afternoon.
“At some points it looked to die down but the wind kept picking it back up.
“The fire brigade were struggling to get close enough to fight it but thankfully it looks to have died down now.
“We have a few villages that have houses close enough, that if the fire had came down over the hill, it would have been very worrying for them, more so than it already was.”
A spokesperson for the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service said: “We are in attendance in the Abernethy area.
“Four appliances were sent to the scene.
“Two were sent from Perth, one from Newburgh, and another from Auchtermuchty.
“The call came in at 2.08pm.
“Three appliances left the scene at 6.50pm.
“The fire was finally extinguished and the stop call made at 8.17pm.
“There were no reported injuries.
“Our remaining appliance left the scene a short time later.”
