As part of Book Week Scotland the Scottish Book Trust are holding a vote to discover the most loved characters in Scottish fiction. From Begbie to Miss Jean Brodie, from Inspector Rebus to the Gruffalo the choice is vast.

The poll closes at 5pm on Wednesday 26 November 2014 so you still have nearly 3 days left to vote. Make your choice by going to the Scottish Book Trust website.
Find out tomorrow which characters staff at the Main Library Helpdesk voted for.
