Edinburgh blaze ravages nightclub
More than 30 firefighters fought a blaze in an Edinburgh nightclub during the early hours of Sunday morning.
The roof of the two storey Mariners club on Commercial Street, Leith, was alight when fire crews arrived at about 0320 GMT.
A spokesman for Lothian and Borders Fire and Rescue Service said the former church building's roof had collapsed.
A total of nine fire engine units tackled the blaze at its peak but no-one was injured.
Officers are still investigating the cause of the blaze.
