Being restored after the major fire in 2014.............. is there an arsonist on the go or someone who just doesn't appreciate the work of Charles Rennie Mackintosh?

I am absolutely gutted. Love the building so much. Twice in four years? Someone has made a **** of this. There will be hell to pay.

Am I right in thinking there has been a fair few fires in Glasgow recently?, I don’t want to get into conspiracy theories but two big fires in the SOA in such a short period of time beggars belief, what’s the patter in Glasgow about this?. You’re right it’s a fabulous building, one of many in Glasgow, it’s all very sad.

There was another fire in the same area a month or so ago. I don’t think we have a serial burner, but it’s awful.

Sad to see iconic buildings destroyed, wasn't it being renovated? Could be something to do with that.

Did they not fit the sprinkler system early in the rebuild.
Tragic.Looks like it is worse this time around.

The sprinkler system wouldn't be commissioned until the last week's on site.
