Firefighters have been tackling a large blaze after an oil tanker caught fire at a farm near Edinburgh.

The Scottish Fire and Rescue Service (SFRS) said four fire engines and specialist resources were sent to Easter Dalmeny Farm at South Queensferry just after 07:30.

A large plume of black smoke could be seen in the sky above the Forth Bridges from the opposite bank.

Police Scotland said the B924 had been closed at its junction with the A90 while emergency services were at the scene.

A SFRS spokesperson said: “Due to levels of smoke in the area, we ask that members of the public avoid the area.

“If you live nearby, keep windows and doors closed as a precaution. If you are not in the immediate area but can see or smell smoke, please follow the same advice.”
