Fire crews are currently in attendance at an Aberdeenshire horse breeding farm after a barn fire reignited, destroying hundreds of bales of hay.
The emergency services were first called to Balhagarty Stud, south-east of Laurencekirk just after noon due to reports of around 20 bales on fire in a shed.
The blaze was extinguished just after 1pm, however fire teams were called back to the farm just after 4pm, when the owners of the family-run site discovered the fire had restarted.
Three fire appliances and a water carrier are still at the scene, and a spokesman for the fire service said it is estimated that around 700 bales have been caught in the blaze.
However, no people or horses have been injured.
