Fire crews have been tackling a large blaze which broke out at Edinburgh's George IV Bridge.



Police Scotland closed several roads in the city's old town on Tuesday morning and said officers were assisting the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service .



The alarm was raised shortly after 6am by a cleaner at Edinburgh's Elephant House cafe - where JK Rowling penned her first Harry Potter book.

Elephant House owner David Taylor, said the fire had not spread to the building, but it had suffered smoke and water damage.
