Barrowmans honour gran in children's fantasy adventure

Entertainer John Barrowman has written a Harry Potter-style children's book inspired by his native Scotland.

The Glasgow-born Torchwood star, currently appearing in Clyde Auditorium panto Robinson Crusoe, has teamed up with his writer sister Carole to pen the fantasy novel Hollow Earth.

Glasgow's Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum and the Pencil Monument near Largs feature in the book, which is set on a Scottish island.
