A number of Midlothian residents have been trapped in their homes, with surrounding roads closed due to an ongoing incident "involving asbestos" at Newbattle Abbey.
Earlier today we reported Police had asked locals in the area to keep their windows closed and stay in their homes, as the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service battled a blaze on Newbattle Road.
We can now confirm the roads in the surrounding area have been closed, and the incident is ongoing with Police Scotland asking people to remain in their houses.
