Four fire engines, including an aerial platform, have been at the scene of the blaze in James Street since shortly before 06:00.

The property is adjacent to the Perth to Dundee railway line, and trains have been passing at a reduced speed as a result.

James Street between Marshall Place and Canal Street remains closed.
