NEW photos reveal more of the devastating damage from the blaze at the Mackintosh School of Art - including damage to nearby Reid Building.
The damage to the stone of the art school, and to the ABC arena, is extensive.
Much of the stone has cracked and broken under the intense heat. The fire services are still working on eliminating "hot spots" within the structures.
A long view down Sauchiehall Street shows the site of both the latest fire and the previous Victoria night club fire. The buildings affected by the earlier fire are still in the process of being torn down.

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
