The former Social work department building in Oxgangs next to the former St John’s Church was set on fire once again this evening.
Five appliances from The Scottish Fire and Rescue Service attended and the fire was quickly brought under control. This is the second time in as many months that this building has been set alight.
A local resident said: “Children have been spotted in playing in the building on numerous occasions but little seems to have been done to the secure the site.”
The site has been earmarked as a new Aldi store.
