The Quipic Framin building, next to the River Clyde, was engulfed for two hours after a fire alarm was raised at 06:30.

It was noticed that the fire broke out in the factory room at the roof level on the fifth floor. All staff left the building safely.

Firefighters arrived within minutes of the alarm sounding with at least seven fire engines on the scene.

It is a fire discovered by a security staff member who raised the alarm.

The students who are watching the fire can be seen through the window next to the Scotland Scotland sign in the south corner.

BBC Scotland said: “We are grateful to the Emergency Services
