Think of sharks and the most common images that spring to mind will likely be of dangerous predators hunting prey, accompanied by ominous music.
However, a town in the leafy suburbs of Glasgow has its own connection to the famous fish - and it dates back millions of years.
In 1982 a complete shark fossil was discovered in Bearsden, in East Dunbartonshire.
It was so complete experts could even see the remains of the last meal eaten by the fish, 330 million years after it died.
Now a group of local enthusiasts are hoping to install a sculpture of the fish in the town, ensuring the tale of the Bearsden Shark will be remembered for future generations.
