A Scottish location has been named one of the best honeymoon spots anywhere in the UK by The Times newspaper.
The list featured places from across the country, including Bath in Somerset, The Norfolk Broads and the Peak District in Derbyshire.
Introducing its best-of list, the publication said that after the stresses of a wedding have passed, newly married couples want nothing more than to enjoy a relaxing honeymoon.
Because of this many opt to honeymoon somewhere in the UK, avoiding busy airports and the worry of cancelled flights.
Why this Scottish location was named one of the best honeymoon spots in the UK
Wester Ross in the Scottish Highlands was named one of the best honeymoon spots in the UK by The Times.
Discussing the spot, the newspaper said that the only thing more "wildly romantic" than the Highlands’ pristine landscapes is the Torridon Hotel.
The hotel is a turreted Victorian country house surrounded by a sea loch, "soaring" snow-capped mountains and scented pine forests.
It added that you’ll see more otters than boats in the water and more golden eagles than people on long walks.
However, it explained that things get more "cosmopolitan" indoors thanks to "sophisticated suites", award-winning dining and a whisky bar with more than 365 classic and rare malts, something the title calls "a fabulous excuse to stay a year and try one a day."
On Tripadvisor, the hotel has received a rating of 4.5/5 out of 1,352 reviews with one user writing: "A beautiful hotel in a stunning location. We planned our trip around Scotland on a stay in the stables accommodation here.

"We were made to feel very welcome by the receptionist Camilla when we arrived and taken to our room which was spacious and the bed very comfortable."
Another added: "Stunning hotel for our 30th wedding anniversary. We enjoyed afternoon tea as well as dinner at both Bo & Muc and 1887 restaurant."
Wester Ross was the only Scottish destination featured on the list, taking the seventh spot.
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!
