Fire rages at derelict hospital

More than 30 firefighters were called to tackle a "large scale" fire at a derelict hospital in East Dunbartonshire.

The blaze at Lennox Castle Hospital in Lennoxtown occurred before 1800 BST on Monday and 13 appliances, including one high-reach unit, were called out.

There were thought to be about 35 firefighters at the scene.

Lennox Castle Hospital, which catered for people with learning disabilities, opened in 1936 and closed in 2002.
