Ambulance crews also attended but it was too late to save the lives of those involved.

Police say they do not think anybody else was involved with the incident with the deaths being treated as "unexplained". The ages of those who have died have not been released.

Forensic officers are understood to have been in and out of the property during the last two days and a tent was erected outside the entrance.

Post mortem examinations will be carried out in due course and a report sent to the procurator fiscal.
