Fire crews worked through the night after a derelict sandstone building in East Ayrshire went up in flames.
The blaze drama in New Cumnock saw four appliances from the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service (SFRS) race to the scene at Pathhead in New Cumnock.
Firefighters battled to control the flames, as smoke billowed into the sky, with the busy A76 closed in both directions for several hours while they carried out their emergency operation.
