Police have said a fire at an old newspaper office in Galashiels was started deliberately.

About 20 firefighters tackled the incident in the former Border Telegraph premises after the alarm was raised shortly after 18:30 on Sunday.

Investigations are continuing but a Police Scotland statement said they were treating it as "wilful" and appealed for witnesses.

The High Street building has been empty for more than ten years.
