Fire crews extinguished the blaze and stayed on the scene until the early hours of Tuesday morning. No-one was reported to have been injured

The building, which dates from about 1840, is on Scotland’s buildings at risk register.

A spokesman for the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service said crews were deployed to the four-storey building at 21:18 after fire broke out in the roof space.

Police Scotland evacuated a neighbouring five-storey block of flats as a precaution, he said.

The blaze was brought under control by 22:44 and the last appliance left the scene at 03:12.

The fire service spokesman said the blaze had been started deliberately and the roof had collapsed onto the top floor of the B-listed building.
