A spokeswoman for the energy firm said: “We would like to apologise to our customers for any inconvenience caused and thank them for their patience as we worked to restore their power as quickly and safely as possible.”
Members of the public are being urged to play their part in preventing further potentially devastating fires.
Area manager Bruce Farquharson is chairman of the Scottish Wildfire Forum.

“Wild and grass fires can start by the careless disposal of cigarettes and barbecues or campfires left unattended.
“They then have the potential to burn for days and devastate vast areas of land, wildlife and threaten the welfare of nearby communities.
“Many rural and remote communities, such as those in the Highland area, are hugely impacted by wildfires, which can cause significant environmental and economic damage.
“Livestock, farmland, wildlife, protected woodland and sites of special scientific interest can all be devastated by these fires – as can the lives of people living and working in rural communities.”
Police were still investigating the cause of the Torridon fire yesterday. They want to trace the occupants of two campervans seen in the area. A small red van which two men had been travelling in and a white camper van believed to have a Dutch registration.
