A remote locations in the Scottish highlands has been voted as the UK's best kept beauty spot.
Despite wild, rugged peatlands and stunning peaks, Assynt and Coigach has been named as one of the least Instagrammed holiday destinations.
Assynt and Coigach's natural and untamed landscapes can be found south-west of Sutherland, just north of Ullapool.
The research by promo site BravoVoucher discovered that seven of the top 10 least Instagrammed locations are in Scotland.
While Assynt and Coigach ranked top, other lesser-known Scottish beauty spots include The Cuillin Hills, North West Sutherland, Fleet Valley, East Stewartry Coast, Lynn of Lorn and The Small Isles.
The team at BravoVoucher said: "Topping the chart is Scottish Assynt-Coigach featuring cliffs, sea stacks and wild moorlands.
"This Highland ridge is as jaw-dropping as it is hard to pronounce. With plentiful walks to embark on, there’s an adventure for all levels of fitness here.
"With plenty of summits to conquer, best upgrade those old walking boots and get your gear on before venturing North."
The Cuillin Hills, described by BravoVoucher as "a majestic ridge of rocky mountains" on the Isle of Skye, is home to some of the UK's most difficult mountain ranges.

The Cuillin Hills came in second place.
The landscape was formed 60,000,000 years ago, meaning there's history below every footstep you take.
In third place is North West Sutherland, a popular location with tourists in the Summer months and roadtrip spot.
North West Sutherland is found where the mountains of the Northwest meet the sea.
Visitors can adventure into the wilderness or tuck into local seafood dishes.
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!
