When Garnock Court in Irvine went up in flames 20 years ago, it led to the death of an elderly man and ushered in tighter legislation on fire safety in Scottish high rises. And now, that tower is coming down.

Along with four other blocks in the town, Garnock Court is due to be demolished and is currently being emptied of its residents.
