A 24-year-old man has been arrested and charged in connection with a wilful fire-raising at St Simon's Catholic Church in Partick.
Emergency crews were called to the 163-year-old church in Bridge Street at around 2.50am on Wednesday, 28 July, with 30 firefighters battling the blaze at its height.
The building's roof, interior, and upper walls all succumbed to the flames while a stained glass window installed in 2013 by the Parish Council has also been lost leading to fears that the remaining facade may have to be demolished.
