Summary
A massive fire tore through Edinburgh’s historic Debenhams building on Princes Street, forcing firefighters to battle flames for 14 grueling hours. The blaze, which erupted at 2:52 AM, shut down the street for most of the day, disrupting traffic and public transport. Princes Street remains partially closed, with trams rerouted between airport and West End only, and buses diverted via South Charlotte or Frederick Street. Commuters are scrambling — use ScotRail or Lothian Buses for eastbound travel, and be ready for chaos in the city center.
