CUMBERNAULD town centre has been evacuated due to smoke from a nearby church fire.
The B-listed St Mungo's Trinity Parish Church has been destroyed after a fire which broke out on Saturday night.
Fire crews have been in attendance since, with local residents evacuated as a precaution.
Now The Centre, a large brutalist structure containing more than 100 retail units, has been evacuated too.
It is understood that the decision was made for health and safety reasons, as the surrounding areas are very smoky from the ongoing blaze at St Mungo's.
It is not clear when people will be able to access The Centre building again.
"It smells really smoky everywhere," one person evacuated told The National.
The latest fire comes after another blaze ripped through the historic Cumbernauld Cottage Theatre just last week.
