Scots visiting certain beaches with their dogs this summer will be unwelcome as their furry friends may be banned.
A stroll along the shore with your pup is one of the nicest ways to soak up Scotland's fleetingly good weather. But more than 60 beaches across the UK have banned dogs, including some in Scotland, according to the experts at Kennel Store.
What's more, some councils may not have all-out bans but require owners to keep their pup on a lead, so it's important to check the rules in your area before visiting a beach.
