A small fire broke out at the hotel

A hotel in Perth has been evacuated after a fire broke out.

Three fire engines were sent to the Royal George Hotel on Tay Street at about 08:10, although the flames had been extinguished by staff before crews arrived.

Firefighters carried out safety checks and a woman was taken to hospital for smoke inhalation as a precaution.

It is the second fire to break out at a hotel in Perth this month, following a fatal blaze at the New County Hotel.

Three people who died in the fire on 2 January have been named by police and an investigation is ongoing.
