Firefighters spent several hours tackling a blaze at a derelict building just off the A90 in Perthshire.
They battled the fire, close to Inchyra and St Madoes, since from just after 6am on Thursday until late afternoon.
At the height of the blaze four appliances were at the fire and motorists reported seeing smoke billowing high from the area.
No-one is believed to have been injured.
Firefighter presence was later scaled back to two. Crews have now left the scene but investigations are ongoing.
Four appliances sent to St Madoes fire
The fire broke out shortly after 6am on Thursday.
A spokeswoman for the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service said: “We received reports just after 6am that a derelict building was on fire at a location close to Inchyra and St Madoes.
Sad to see the flames 🔥 flickering inside Inchyra Farmhouse. An undignified way for a fine Georgian house to end its days. It was redundant , it had subsidence , but still sad. pic.twitter.com/Fosclmzy9O

“We sent four appliances – three from Perth and one from Macalpine Road in Dundee.
“Two appliances currently remain on scene.”
She added no-one had to be evacuated from the building and no casualties have been reported.
Motorists saw smoke from the A90
One witness said: “I was driving along the A90 near to St Madoes around 9am when I saw a building on fire.
“It looked like a farmhouse but I couldn’t be sure.
“There was plenty of smoke and I think there would have been a lot of damage.”
