For ten days, a wildfire burned through the Cairngorms in relative silence — until the wind changed, and silence became emergency. On a Saturday morning in late July 2026, Police Scotland declared a major incident as the blaze turned toward Nethy Bridge, compelling every resident to leave a place they had not expected to abandon. The event is a familiar human story: nature's indifference meeting the limits of institutional readiness, with the most vulnerable bearing the sharpest cost.
