An 18-year-old man and two boys, aged 15 and 13, have been charged in connection with wilful fireraising at a derelict building in Kingseat.
The incident happened around 7.40pm on Tuesday at the derelict village hall on Marshall Mackenzie Road.
Crews from Scottish Fire and Rescue battled through the evening to bring the extensive fire under control, but were unable to save the building which was formerly used as a community hall but which has sat derelict and undeveloped for several years since the former hospital site was redeveloped into housing.
The 18-year-old will be reported to the Procurator Fiscal and the two boys will be reported to the Youth Justice Management Unit.
