A massive explosion of flames erupted Sunday afternoon in an electronic cigarette store on Union Street, immediately spreading to the adjacent historic Victorian structure known as "Union Corner" which dates back 1850s years (or late nineteenth century). The blaze caused partial collapse within hours and forced emergency evacuations at one of Scotland's busiest transport hubs. Consequently all railway services above ground were suspended until further notice while authorities continue their investigation into the cause
