Two teenagers have been charged following a fire at a historic building in Stirling.
Firefighters were called to the B-listed Langgarth House on St Ninian’s Road just before 6pm on Saturday, with smoke seen billowing from the property before the blaze was extinguished.
It dates back to 1897 and was formerly a council office building, but it has been empty for 15 years.
Police Scotland said on Monday two 16-year-old boys have been arrested and charged in connection with the fire.
The force said: “No-one was injured.”
Both teenagers are expected to appear at Stirling Sheriff Court in due course.
Stirling MP Alyn Smith tweeted that the fire is a “sad sight” while local MSP Evelyn Tweed said it was “terrible” to see the “once beautiful” building on fire.
The council has been trying to sell the building in recent years.
