The huge fire close to Glasgow's Central station is reported to have started in a vape shop on Union Street, eventually engulfing a four-storey Victorian building.
Known as Union Corner, at the junction of Union Street and Gordon Street, the B-listed building was constructed in 1851 and pre-dates the station itself which opened in 1879.
Designed by architect James Brown of the firm Brown & Carrick, it was built for Francis Orr & Sons, a well-known Glaswegian stationery and publishing company.
For years there was an Irn Bru advert on the rooftop and a red neon Bells sign on the dome itself.
Among the businesses that until recently occupied the ground floor were the Blue Lagoon fish and chip shop and Sexy Coffee.

The air is thick with smoke and there are a number of firefighters and fire engines on the street, but they’re not involved in any firefighting activity at the moment.
The police cordon makes it difficult to see fully along the front of Central station, however there are no visible signs of fire or any heightened activity on Gordon Street - the location of the main entrance to the station.

For passengers travelling by train tonight, the disruption caused by the fire was compounded by service cancellations.
An Avanti service from London Euston to Glasgow was cancelled due to a member of train staff becoming unwell.
Passengers were directed to board the next train leaving an hour later which meant the train was extra busy.
This service is now due to terminate at Motherwell where Avanti have promised to secure onward travel for passengers.
I was travelling home to Glasgow from Sheffield via Leeds and Carlisle. On arrival at Carlisle, we were advised by Avanti staff to board the 22.22 TransPennine Express service to Edinburgh, where onward travel would be arranged.
Currently waiting at Lockerbie, train staff say there’s a freight train up ahead which is "struggling" and we’ve been told to wait here while it resolves "technical difficulties".
