Crime writer Ian Rankin donated a massive archive to the National Library of Scotland – where he wrote his first Rebus novel, and set the final scene in the tunnels beneath the building.

Mr Rankin, 59, used the library regularly as a student and in his early years as an author, and wrote his PhD there, on fellow Edinburgh writer Muriel Spark.

The final scene of his first Rebus novel, Noughts and Crosses, was set in the tunnels beneath the library.
