One of Scotland's best-loved authors says a Lanarkshire park is one of his favourite places.
Crime novelist Christopher Brookmyre says Chatelherault Country Park in Hamilton has been the ideal spot for walks and gathering inspiration for some of his works.
The writer, best know for his darkly comic crime fiction, calls the beauty spots one of his favourite haunts, explaining that the network of paths winding through the woods along the Avon Gorge provides the ideal thinking space to come up with the twists and turns of his plots.
