PICTURES: Scottish Fire and Rescue Service sends four crews as historic Easter Ross house goes up in flames
A historic abandoned Victorian house in Muir of Ord has been destroyed by fire.
The blaze, reported just before 11pm last night (Tuesday), engulfed the former Corriemount dwelling on Corrie Road in flames
The 19th century detached stone-built home was known locally as the ‘haunted house’ and was once said to be the village’s grandest address.
Having lain empty for a considerable time, it has had a history of being targeted by vandals and suffered significant damage in a previous fire in August 2017.
Four fire crews, two from Dingwall, one from Inverness and one from Beauly rushed to attend the latest blaze.
It was brought under control around three hours later.
A Scottish Fire and Rescue Service spokeswoman said: “We were in attendance at a fire in an abandoned house at Corriemount, Corrie Road, Muir of Ord, with the call coming to us at 22:48 hours on Tuesday, May 21.
“We received the stop sign at 02:19 hours on Wednesday.”
There were no reports if anybody being hurt in the fire.
