Police are on the scene at Inchmickery Court in Muirhouse, in the north of the Scottish city.  They are understood to have been there for several hours. A witness said the block of flats has been cordoned off. They told the local Edinburgh Evening News: “The fire crews turned up in the morning and I think they wanted into one of the flats.

“There was shouting through a door but because of the high winds and height of the building it was impossible to hear what was being said.

“Then the police turned up in the full gear. Armed officers, what looked like two vanloads from a support unit.

“The building was sealed off so no one was getting in or out. There’s often incidents at these flats and folk outside like me – I had popped out to walk the dog – can’t get back in.”
