The Glasgow School of Art, a landmark Art Nouveau building and working school designed by Charles Rennie Mackintosh, caught fire yesterday.
No one was hurt. The fire looks alarming in photos but according to the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service the main structure and most of its contents were saved.
It is not yet known how much damage has been done to the school library, considered one of the finest examples of an Art Nouveau interior in the world.
The UK government has pledged to help rebuild the school.
