    What’s going on in Scotland. Was it Glasgow that also recently had a massive fire near the train station?

      Not that recent, but yes. Early reports suggested an unregistered vape shop caught fire in Glasgow. The fires in that city are thought to be symptoms of various ttings, summarised in Why do Glasgow’s historic buildings keep catching fire? - BBC News

      Edinburgh has some similar features, but maybe it just got unlucky with this fire. We’ll see.
