A fire that broke out at an ice cream parlour is thought to have been caused accidentally by equipment.

Crews were able to put the fire out by 22:29 and ventilated the building, on Cornhill in the town centre.

The service said "early indications" showed the fire was caused accidentally by equipment in the premises.
