The owner of a Lanarkshire butchershop that went up in flames in an apparent gas blast last week, has thanked her community for their support.
Ann Davidson, owner of Ann Davidson Butchers in Strathaven, is currently in the Glasgow Royal Infirmary receiving treatment to burns following the horrific blaze at her shop last Thursday night.
Locals recalled hearing a huge "explosion" and then witnessed Ann's Green Street shop, as well as neighbouring premises and upstairs flats, go up in flames just before midnight.
