Fire crews remain on scene of blaze at abandoned paper mill in Aberdeen

Fire crews remain on the scene of a blaze at an abandoned paper mill in Aberdeen.

Emergency services were called to the derelict Stoneywood Mill in Bucksburn around 5.20pm on Sunday.

Four fire engines and a high-reach vehicle were sent to the scene of the well-developed fire.

Two fire engines remain at the site as of Monday morning after reports of smouldering.

There have been no reported injuries.

The derelict building was previously damaged by a fire in 2024.

The paper mill has been disused since it went into administration in September 2022, after borrowing around £12m of public money to save the business.

A Scottish Fire and Rescue Service spokesperson said: “We were alerted at 5.21pm on Sunday, March 29, to reports of a fire affecting a derelict building on Stoneywood Terrace, Stoneywood, Aberdeen.

“Operations Control mobilised four appliances, a high-reach vehicle and other resources to the scene, where crews worked to extinguish a well-developed fire.

“Two appliances are at the scene on Monday, March 30, after reports of smouldering.

“There are no reported casualties.”
