Glasgow has a celebrated past with literature with the city producing many successful authors over the years.
Some of the books reflect the culture of the city at different times and will appeal to generations of Glaswegians who have at some stage called Glasgow home.
It is no surprise that Glasgow has a strong love of books with the Mitchell Library being the largest public library in Europe with there also being fourteen Andrew Carnegie libraries built in the city.
Although we all have our own personal favourite books based in Glasgow, we wanted to ask our readers which books were their favourites.
13. Hen's Teeth by Manda Scott
"Midnight in Glasgow is not the best time to be faced with a dead body. Particularly if the body in question is your ex-lover and the woman grieving at her bedside used to be your friend. Add a corpse packed with Temazepam, a genetic engineer with an unstable past and a killer on the loose with a knife and you have all the reason you need to walk away and never come back. Glasgow therapist Dr Kellen Stewart has put the past behind her: medical career, relationship, life on the farm in the country. Thenthe phone rings and Bridget is dead – the only lover who ever counted.The local doctor says it's a heart attack, the police think it's suicide. Kellen knows that it's neither but is she willing to rake up the past to prove it? Dragged into a world of rogue doctors, bent genetic engineers and killers who gut their victims as a warning, Kellen must face her own past as much as the very real terrors of the present to stop the killing – or she'll be next." | Supplied
14. Laidlaw by William McIlvanney
"When a young woman is found brutally murdered in Kelvingrove Park, only one man stands a chance of finding her killer. Jack Laidlaw. He is a man of contrasts, ravaged by inner demons but driven by a deep compassion for the violent criminals in Glasgow's underworld. But will Laidlaw's unorthodox methods get him to the killer in time, when the victim's father is baying for blood?" | Supplied
