Second blaze at fire-damaged Invergordon primary school

Firefighters at the scene of last February's fire at Park Primary

A primary school badly damaged in a blaze a year ago has been hit by a second fire.

Firefighters were called to Park Primary in Invergordon at about 07:00 on Saturday.

On 24 February last year, the school was evacuated after a fire broke out and caused so much damage the site had to be closed.

The school was due to reopen in a few weeks time. The latest blaze affected an older part of the site.

The Scottish Fire and Rescue Service and Police Scotland have begun a joint investigation into the last blaze.

Highland Council said an older part of the site was damaged by Saturday's fire

Park Primary pupils have been attending Invergordon Academy School and nursery children at South Lodge Nursery since last year's fire.

The school has a roll of about 160 children.

Highland Council's education chairman John Finlayson said: "Our main concern is supporting pupils and teachers who may be affected by this news almost a year to the day from the fire at Park Primary."
