God... I didn't heard about that. What are journalisst doing? Scotland is basically next to France. Why do I hear about tsunami warning in Japan but not that?!

Because the British press only cares about things happening outside of London if it is either:

  1. Really fucked up
  2. Related somehow to London.

Here's an article on the wildfire. Yes that is Edinburgh City Center right next to the Fire.

Was this last month? The article is date from 20 July 2026 but other mention I found are from last year. I find article on the same topic from a year ago almost world for world the same for the few recent articles. Is this the second year it happened?

I'm very sorry for you either way.

Yes, and it was the biggest wildfire in recent memory. Whole of Salsbury Crags caught fire. Burnt for a couple of days. It was bigger than last year's fires. We once had a fire in February.
