Road closure as fire crews tackle Bishopbriggs blaze
Firefighters battled through the night to bring a blaze at a barn - which contained 50 tonnes of flaming hay bales - under control.
Crews donned breathing apparatus as they battled the fire and firefighters remained at the scene this morning - than 12 hours after flames took hold of the barn.
Emergency services had to close Balmore Road, near to Balimulidy Road, as they dealt with the incident.
Motorists have been urged to avoid the area.
BBC Travel Scotland tweeted:
