Scotland's beaches have been praised as some of the best in the UK in The Sunday Times 50 Best Beaches Guide.
As we roll into July, we're hoping for some scorching sun this month so we can head to the beach. If you're not abroad, Scotland can offer a golden coast along with a rugged landscape only found here. If it weren't for the unpredictable Scottish weather, we would wonder why you would want to go anywhere else.
The Sunday Times have released their list of the 50 best beaches in the UK, and nine of them are in Scotland. Unsurprisingly, most of them are in the Highlands which boasts a beautiful scenery, a chance to spot wildlife and can be a breathe of fresh air for those travelling from cities such as Glasgow. Even travelling across Scotland and up north can take your breathe away - after all, it's that sense of mythical wilderness that people from all over the world flock to see.
