A former miners' welfare centre and bowling club has been destroyed by a huge fire.
A team of 40 firefighters were needed to bring the blaze under control at Denbeath Bowling Club in Buckhaven, Fife, on Wednesday afternoon.
No-one was injured in the fire but police warned local residents to keep windows closed due to the amount of smoke in the air.

The building, which included Denbeath Miners Welfare Institute, was closed in 2013 due to rising maintenance costs.
A fire service spokeswoman said: "Around 40 firefighters are currently tackling a blaze that has taken hold of a derelict building in Buckhaven.
"A total of seven appliances and a height appliance have been mobilised to the former bowling club premises in Den Walk.
