The fire, which started in the basement on Friday afternoon, badly damaged the west wing, including the Charles Rennie Mackintosh library. No injuries were reported. Over 90% of the structure is still viable and up to 70% of the contents have been saved. More than 100 conservators are standing by to help with the restoration and the Scottish government has said it will "support the funding effort required".
