An "atmospheric" high street in a popular Scottish seaside town has been dubbed one of the "loveliest" in the UK.
North Berwick in East Lothian was named in a list featuring other UK locations like Greenwich in London and Narberth in Pembrokeshire.
Introducing the list, The Times said: "These high streets will go on to survive and thrive over the next few years."
If you want to know why North Berwick was the only Scottish town named on the list, here is everything that was said about the location.

Discussing the coastal town of North Berwick in Scotland, The Times said: "Footfall was already good on the high street of coastal North Berwick — it increased after a new, local 'Town Centre First' project — but it’s better than ever post-Covid now that we’ve all realised that we do want to be beside the seaside.
"Stop at peaceful Paper Flower for handmade cards and gifts (37 High Street) and family-owned Norden for hip homewares (norden.online) or put your pet first and shop at Barker & Bone, a designer boutique for the discerning dog (and cat) owner (47 High Street).

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!
