The Grangemouth petrochemical plant, part of Scotland's biggest industrial site, is to be closed.

800 jobs will be lost after the owners' shock decision to call in the liquidators following a bitter dispute over pay and pensions.

Hundreds more jobs are still under threat at the site's oil refinery.
