Customers have been evacuated from the new St James Quarter in Edinburgh after a fire alarm went off.

It comes just weeks after shoppers were asked to gather outside because of a fire bell.

The centre was also flooded last month when bad weather hit the city.

Fire crews say they aren't aware of a blaze but are now working to make sure the area is safe.
