Episode Details

Cramond Island near Edinburgh narrowly dodged disaster when a grass fire broke out Wednesday, forcing firefighters to trek across the narrow causeway with buckets and shovels to extinguish smoldering embers — though no one was in danger. The blaze, which gutted patches of gorse, is part of a worrying wildfire surge across Scotland, including major fires in the Cairngorms and Arthur’s Seat. With scorching temperatures, authorities have expanded a “very high risk” warning across central Highlands and southern/eastern regions. And hey, the island’s even been a movie set — think Brian Cox’s Churchill. Nature’s got beauty, power, and a wild streak.
