EVERY January the Veganuary campaign challenges people to go vegan for the first 31 days of the year. 

Whether people are planning a complete lifestyle change or just want to cut down on the amount of meat and animal products they're consuming, the challenge is a great way to reset after the festive period.

However, one thing that may put people off taking part in the challenge is the fear that they won't be able to go out for food and enjoy their favourite dishes. 

But with Glasgow's abundance of vegan-friendly eateries there's no need to worry, with vegan friendly pizzas, burgers and even kebabs in no short supply.

Here are five vegan restaurants to try in Glasgow this Veganuary...
