Isle of Mull, Braemar and Craigellachie named among most desirable places
In Scotland, the Isle of Mull took the top spot with more than five million views on the short-form video app TikTok.
The Isle of Mull, off the west coast of Scotland, offers breathtaking scenery, diverse wildlife and plenty of outdoor activities as well as stunning beaches.
Many have praised the location for attractions like the Tobermory Distillery on Tripadvisor, with one reviewer saying: "We had a very personal tour of this small distillery, albeit fast because we had to catch our bus back to the ferry, and came away more knowledgeable about the Scotch making history."
Next was the small town of Braemar in north east with its proximity to the beautiful Cairngorms mountain range and plentiful outdoor activities such as walking, biking, skiing, and golf.
Craigellachie in Moray gained 623,800 views and offers a peaceful, rural lifestyle with stunning views of the surrounding landscape, whilst also providing a busy village atmosphere with its pubs and shops that are available.
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!
