Police in Glenrothes are appealing for information following a fire at Leslie Golf Club in Glenrothes, Fife.
Officers and the fire service were called to the scene at around 2.30am on Sunday, 26 July, after reports that the greenkeepers store had been set alight.
After arriving at the scene, the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service extinguished the fire which had caused extensive damage to the building and specialist equipment stored within.
Police have now stated they are treating the fire as willful and believe that three people who were seen running from the scene may be responsible.
Inspector Kirk Donnelly from Glenrothes Police said:
“This was a despicable and deliberate act by selfish individuals and thankfully on this occasion no one was injured.

“A number of wheelie bin fires have also been reported in the Leslie area and it is believed that these incidents may be connected to the fire at the Golf Club.
