Muriel Gray: No clear answers on what caused Glasgow fire

It’s been gutted by fire – and reduced to an empty shell. But what’s left of the historic Mackintosh Building at the Glasgow School of Art is said to be mostly “structurally solid”, after initial assessments were carried out.

Friday’s fire broke out four years after another devastating blaze and the building was mid-way through multi-million pound renovation work.
