When the sun is shining and the mercury rises, nothing beats a trip to the beach.
Fortunately, Scotland is home to countless scenic bays that are well worth a visit whether you're keen for a fun trip with family and friends or a quiet day out by yourself.
While you can't really go wrong with any beach around the country, some in particular are truly breathtaking. There are some that might even make you forget that you're in Scotland for a little while.
