NO arrests have been made following a blaze that ripped through a much-loved hotel in Glasgow earlier this year.

We previously reported that emergency services rushed to reports of a derelict building on fire on Busby Road, Carmunnock, on Thursday, August 17.

The blaze, which caused “significant damage”, ripped through the Carnbooth House Hotel, a large country house that was built by architect Alexander Cullen around 1900.

The hotel, which has been lying empty since 2019 was also previously used as a residential school.

Luckily, no one was injured during the incident.

Barrhead News:

Previously we reported cops said they were treating the blaze as “deliberate”.

However, officers have now confirmed, after investigating all “available lines of enquiry”, no one has been identified as being responsible for the fire.

Earlier this month, a planning application was submitted to Glasgow City Council to pull down the much-loved hotel.

As part of the plans, documents revealed the council’s plan to knock down the site, parts of which, it said were in “precarious condition” after suffering “substantial damage”.

On top of that, the application also stated that the flames “completely destroyed the interior and roof or the property leaving only masonry walls standing”.

A decision on the proposal is expected to be made by Friday, January 29.

A spokesperson for Police Scotland said: “We were made aware of a fire at a derelict building on Busby Road on the evening of Thursday, August 17, around 8.40pm.

“All current available lines of enquiry have been completed and no one has been identified as being responsible.

“Any further information will be investigated.”
