Fire crews battle blaze at former Dumfries convent

Dozens of firefighters have been battling a major blaze at a famous Dumfries landmark.

Flames engulfed the historic former convent on Corbelly Hill.

The property was the setting for Peter Mullan’s 2002 film the Magdalene Sisters.

The building – which dates back to 1884 – has been abandoned for some time and has previously been a target for vandals.
