Here are the 13 best beaches in Scotland, chosen by our readers

These are the best beaches in Scotland, according to our readers.

When you think of golden sands and turquoise waves lapping the shore, Scotland may not be the first place that comes to mind.

But we have an almost endless supply of beautiful beaches – including many which could easily be mistaken for a spot in the Caribbean. (It might be a wee bit colder, mind.)

We asked readers on our Facebook page the best beach they had been to in Scotland. This is what they said.
