The Celtic Arms Inn on Victoria Avenue was well alight when firefighters arrived just before 4am this morning. Central fire communications shift manager Murray Dunbar said several members of the public alerted the fire service to the blaze, which destroyed the pub. No one was inside at the time of the fire, and the Fire Service is investigating its cause, Mr Dunbar said.
