Firefighters worked through the night to bring a large scrapyard fire in Elgin under control.

Emergency services were called to the incident on Moycroft Road at around 10.35pm on Tuesday. At its height, six fire appliances and specialist units were deployed to tackle the blaze.

By 6.30am on Wednesday, four appliances remained on site as crews continued to dampen down. There have been no reports of casualties.

Local residents and businesses in the Tyock industrial estate have been urged to keep windows and doors closed due to smoke in the area. Several roads remain closed, including Moycroft Road north of Chanonry Road and a section of Chanonry Road North, with no access to the estate from the A96.

Police Scotland said the closures will remain in place while emergency services continue their work.
