A millionaire businessman was forced to flee to safety when his £1.3 million mansion in the shadow of Gleneagles went on fire.
Nightclub tycoon John Bryden's home, next to the 2014 Ryder Cup venue, suffered significant damages.
Mr Bryden said: "I'm thanking God my kids were not in the house."
The blaze broke out at about 8pm on Wednesday at the six-bedroom property.
