A Fife hotel which boasts a beer garden by the beach has been named as one of the best seaside hotels in Britain.
The Times this weekend published their guide to the top coastal stays and included three Scottish destinations as part of the 25-strong list.
And one, just over an hour's drive from Edinburgh in Elie, could offer the perfect staycation spot for those looking to get out the city - or at least a great day trip stop-off for some hearty grub and drinks by the beach.
