THE RBS headquarters at Gogarburn have been given the all-clear after a "suspicious package" was revealed to be promotional materials.
Police were called to the Edinburgh building early on Wednesday morning following an alert, while workers at the bank were evacuated from the site.
However, police have now confirmed that the alert was caused by a package with promotional goods in it.
A spokesman said: "Enquiries have established the package posed no risk to the public and contained promotional goods.
"The area surrounding the building has been reopened and the public are thanked for their patience whilst this incident was ongoing.
"Several roads are still closed while investigations are being carried out regarding the packages."
Emergency services are still in attendance at the University of Glasgow where another suspicious package was discovered this morning.
A Glasgow University spokeswoman said: "Under advice from Police Scotland, a number of buildings on the main University campus have been evacuated as a precautionary measure after a suspicious package was found in the University's mailroom.
"Police are dealing with the matter and we will provide regular updates."
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!
