Emergency crews were called to reports of a fire in the server room of the building, which is the city council meeting place.

The site, on the Royal Mile, will be shut until at least Wednesday due to an electrical fault.

Registrars, a customer hub, Mary King's Close and Visit Scotland's office were also closed as a result of the blaze.

There were no injuries.
