THE first trailer has been released for Irvine Welsh's highly anticipated first TV series, Crime.

Based on the best-selling novel of the same name and set in Edinburgh, Crime stars Dougray Scott as Detective Inspector Ray Lennox, who is investigating the disappearance of a schoolgirl while fighting his own demons. 

The series will also star Joanna Vanderham, Angela Griffin, Ken Stott and Jamie Sives. 

Earlier this year we reported film crews for the series had been spotted in Tradeston. 

The six-part series will be available to stream exclusively on Britbox from November 18.
