A FIRE has taken hold at the derelict Corran Inn restaurant in Saltcoats.
Multiple reports this evening stated that the former Harry Flashman's and Aberlour pub was on fire with at least three fire engines in attendance.
It is unclear at this stage how the fire started.
The former popular restaurant has been up for sale for a number of months and recently plans were lodged to build houses on the wasteland beside the site.
More on this as we get it.
