What happened
A new travel route was detailed in the Cairngorms national park, starting in Edinburgh and passing through Glenmore. The route was modified because of path closures resulting from a wildfire that began near Glenmore and Abernethy on July 15, which burned over 33 sq km of moorland and forest.

Why it matters
The wildfire required the involvement of over 500 firefighters and led to evacuations of homes and businesses. The resulting path closures affect established travel routes, potentially altering tourist access to areas like Loch Morlich and Loch Garten.
