Last night, a fire raged through the building known in Stornoway as the Town House, pictured above in an image taken in January 2006. Passers-by noticed smoke issuing from a second-floor apartment and made their way in. The two occupants were rescued and taken to hospital, where they are being treated for burns. One has been transferred to Glasgow for specialist treatment. Fire brigade and council officials are currently assessing the safety of this B-listed historical building.

This is an interesting looking house. I am sorry a fire has marred it, but hopefully they will be able to repair the damage, and thank god, the occupants were not killed. Gerry
