WITHIN the last few minutes a group of 10-15 youths have been seen running towards the Glen after a fire broke out near St Margaret's Cave.

Nearby residents described hearing a loud bang as wooden palettes and chairs were set on fire underneath the Glen Bridge.

Smoke could be seen from the Carnegie Leisure Centre as emergency services tackled the fire.

One fire engine was called out as eyewitnesses said they saw the group of youths running in the direction of the Glen.
