PAEDO Jimmy Savile’s Scottish lair went up in flames last night.

A fire could be seen ripping through garages next to the notorious sex beast’s house as onlookers whipped out their phones to video the inferno.

Cops locked down the road and urged residents to avoid the area last night.

Firefighters were called to the blaze in Glencoe, Scotland, just after 5.30pm.

A spokesman for the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service said: “We were called at 17.36 and have three pumps in attendance.

"We left the scene at around 22.27. We returned for a reinspection at 02.14 and left."

Police Scotland confirmed the area was locked down last night, but the road has since reopened.

Enquiries are ongoing to establish the full circumstances.

"Emergency services attended and the fire was extinguished by Scottish Fire and Rescue Service.

"Enquiries are ongoing to establish the full circumstances."

“Emergency services are in attendance and drivers are asked to avoid the area.”

Inside trashed bolthole once owned by paedo Jimmy Savile – leaving a stain on Scots beauty spot

The paedophile DJ’s former cottage Allt-na-Reigh has become a morbid tourist attraction for thousands of walkers and selfie-takers visiting the famed spot.

But it is at the centre of health and safety fears as the doors and windows have been smashed or torn off, meaning anyone can wander in.

The interior is awash with broken glass as well as debris from smashed-down walls and roofing.

Rubbish lies everywhere while graffiti takes aim at ex-BBC Top of the Pops host Savile, one of the UK’s most prolific sexual predators.

The Jim’ll Fix It monster owned the property from 1998 until his death aged 84 in 2011.

Since then, it has fallen into disrepair but has been bought by retail tycoon Harris Aslam.

The businessman wants to knock it down and build a modernist three-bedroom villa in its place.

His first proposals prompted hundreds of complaints and were withdrawn in November.

But revised plans — tweaked again last week and being considered by Highland Council — continue to prompt objections that it is out of keeping with the area.
