Edinburgh couple who fled flat fire sent 50 miles away as city hotels sold out

A couple in Edinburgh who arrived home from work to discover a huge fire engulfing the top floor of their tenement have had to travel to Glasgow for a hotel.

Hayley Cameron, 40, and her partner Chris Doig, 36, live next door to a flat on Peffer Street that burst into flames on Wednesday night and still do not know the full extent of the damage in their home.

No rooms are available in the capital due to thousands of fans flocking to the Harry Styles concert at Murrayfield. Now the couple are losing money and have been forced to take time off work as they cannot access their home to get fresh clothes and belongings.
