Re: BBC or sky news who's right
Both right......The building that has been destroyed by fire is on the corner of Union Street and Gordon Street in Glasgow city centre.
The Union Corner building, which dates from 1851, is actually connected to Glasgow Central Station, one of the busiest railway stations in the UK.
Per BBC news

Re: BBC or sky news who's right
It was this one. Connected to, but not actually a part of, the station. For those who walk the city centre, it was a landmark, and if it’s replaced by anything other than a proper restoration/recreation it will indelibly change the cityscape for the worse.

Re: Fire destroys Union Corner building at Glasgow Central Station
There would be hell to pay if they tried - it would need the council to approve change-of-use which would go down like a lead balloon.
The real risk is that someone proposes putting up just another glass and steel box, gets turned down, and we’re left with a blackened hole in the ground for 10 years surrounded by wooden fencing with grotty fly-posters all over it.
The architecture there is all mid-19th century, built in local yellow sandstone. Union Corner was a grade B listed building which is about as high as you go without being a castle or national trust monument.
This was how it used to look:
