David Leishman, the Highlands and Islands group manager of the new Scottish Fire and Rescue Service, said: “There was a little bit of panic from those leaving the building, but we were very quickly able to enable everyone to exit the premises safely.”
Backpacker Rene Carrie, from Bavaria in Germany, said afterwards: “I was asleep when I woke up with a fire alarm.
“At first I thought it was a bad joke. Then I saw the fire and it was not a joke, it was real. Of course, I am lucky to be alive.
“It was good luck that I had packed my bag for today as I was able to take my bag with all my stuff.
“But there are people who are without shoes and clothes, and I gave a girl some of my clothes.”
