Thomas Shelby has a bit of Glasgow on his face in the new series of Peaky Blinders.

The leading character, portrayed by Irish actor Cillian Murphy, has been spotted wearing a pair of glasses designed by city-based eyewear brand IOLLA.

The crew were approached by costume designer Alison McCosh last summer - but did not expect their design to end up on the main character's nose.

Stefan Hunter, IOLLA's founder and frame designer, produced prototypes and attended a pre-filming fitting with Mr Murphy to fit the frames perfectly.

The brand, which launched in 2015, specialises in designing affordable glasses for fashion-conscious people and prides itself on making all of its specs in Scotland.

A statement from IOLLA read: "We are extremely proud of the journey we went on to produce this popular character’s glasses for the show's fifth series and be part of this amazing project.
