One of Scotland’s most iconic buildings, Glasgow School of Art, has been gutted in a major fire, nearly four years after it was partially destroyed by a smaller blaze

More than 120 firefighters and 20 fire engines sped to the scene to tackle the blaze spread to nearby buildings overnight

The building, designed by celebrated architect Charles Rennie Mackintosh in the heart of the city, went up in flames. No casualties were reported

The building was undergoing restoration after being damaged by a fire in May 2014. The building, built between 1897 and 1909, was due to reopen in 2019

The restoration project, which was set to cost between 20 million and 35 million pounds, had been returning the famous art school .
