Clydebank is one of the best known towns on the outskirts of Glasgow that is situated on the north bank of the River Clyde.
It is a proud town - and for good reason, not only did they produce some of the biggest ships, the best sewing machines, and the best patter - but also some incredible people.
The town boasts a separate culture from that of Glasgow - one that developed separately from the city as far back as the 12th century, although the two would become more and more linked as more trade sprang up on the Clyde.
Here are some of the famous faces who once called Clydebank home including comedians, actors and musicians.
