Residents in an Edinburgh apartment block say they're "living in fear" after multiple fires have been started in their stairwell.
Some of those living in the Hyvot Park area of Gilmerton have taken to social media in recent days to share images of burnt out communal areas and have said that they are scared for their lives.
With incidents on both Saturday and Sunday night, September 17 and 18, the aftermath has left the whole building black with smoke as furniture and doors are targeted by firebugs. One local told Edinburgh Live a bag was tied to the door of their 83-year-old neighbour and set alight, with smoke travelling all the way to their flat on the top floor.
