Dramatic footage shows fire-hit Milngavie bowling club knocked to the ground in demolition

Dramatic footage has shown the popular Claremont Bowling Club, in Milngavie, collapse to the ground after being bulldozed. It comes three months after the venue was up in flames and left in ruins.

The historic venue was seen being knocked to the ground this afternoon (February 20) following the devastating inferno which engulfed the building at around 7am on November 25, last year.

Police and firefighters rushed to put out the blaze and luckily, there were no injuries.

Crews were at the scene for almost nine hours as smoke billowed over the homes of nearby residents.

Today, the building has been demolished and its heart-breaking demise has been captured on video footage which shows a bulldozer clawing into it.

Police Scotland have confirmed that following a joint investigation with the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service (SFRS), the inferno "is not being treated as suspicious and no further police action" will be taken.

We have approached the SFRS for an update into the cause of the blaze.
