Firefighters are tackling a large blaze at an industrial estate near Paisley.

Ten appliances were at the scene of the fire at the Linwood Industrial Estate in Elderslie after the alarm was raised just after 21:00 on Sunday.

Local residents reported hearing loud explosions and a large plume of smoke was drifting from the site towards the north of Glasgow.

The smoke, which was clearly visible from the centre of Glasgow, was billowing across the A737 road but Glasgow Airport said it was not impacting on flights.
