A stunning Scottish village on the eastern banks of Loch Long has been named one of the best-hidden gems in the country. Arrochar in Argyll was the only Scottish entry on the 24-strong shortlist and placed just outside the top 10.
Located in the Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park, which is famed for its epic lochs and breathtaking scenery, the tiny lochside village scored highest for its welcoming pubs and of course, beautiful surroundings.
With thousands of people already having enjoyed a summer trip to this wonderful national park, it seems that Arrochar could be the place to visit for a staycation if you're looking for something extra special.
