A number of Scottish towns and villages have been named among the best UK locations to visit in a brand new travel list.
Consumer watchdog Which? asked its members to rank the best destinations across the country.
The more than 9000 members rated the top inland towns and villages they'd visited to find the best.
The survey asked members to rank these locations on their food and drink, tourist attractions, shopping and more.
Wells in Somerset and Avebury in neighbouring Wiltshire were named the best spots in the whole of the UK.
This comes after a similar list looking into Britain's best seaside towns was released by Which?, featuring Scottish destinations.

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
