It's so depressing using NASA resources to track wildfires in *Scotland* 😞

I have a lot of family ties to the rural Cairngorms area of the Scottish Highlands. We've never wanted rain more than now.

Nethy full film with subtitles

Another fascinating watch. Jimmy Macleod, head forester of a tree nursery (Dell Nursery) near Nethy Bridge that ceased operation in 1984.

He talks about the effect changing from horses and plough to tractors had on the soil and drainage, using kilns for extracting seeds from Scots pine cones, planting and much more.

Gingerman: Episode 319-Nethybridge

For anyone interested in what the area around Nethy Bridge. Video taken spring 2025. Brilliant watch.

Contains some drone footage to give you an idea of how close and extensive the wooded areas on the hills are to the houses and people living there. You can understand the evacuation better.

Passed through it on my recent trip to Tomintoul.

Fingers crossed that the area escapes the worst 🤞

Get an API key for NASA FIRMS -- Fire Information for Resource Management System -- then download CSV data and try to plot it on a map with Gnuplot.
