A huge fire broke out at Newtown Park, the home of Bo'ness United football club, on Tuesday afternoon.

The blaze at the stadium sent an enormous plume of black smoke over the town, visible all the way from Edinburgh. The coastal town is 16.9 miles north-west of the capital.

The fire is thought to have begun in rolls of astroturf which were due to be fitted to the ground.

While the stadium itself escaped the worst of the damage, a nearby band hall was gutted by the flames.

It's a tragic loss for the Unison Kinneil Band, a brass band formed by miners and iron workers in 1858. They have lost decades of memorabilia and instruments.

Established in 1945, Bo'ness United are a former Junior football team who switched to the East of Scotland league last summer and play in Conference B.
