Behind the Old Royal High School on Regents Road, large streams of smoke can be seen, and shrubs and grass appear to be burning right next to the structure.
It is believed to have erupted around 4pm on Sunday afternoon, although the cause has not yet been determined.
Smoke has spread to the city center, and Leith Walk and emergency services are available.
