One thing Scotland is blessed with is coastline - including islands, we have nearly 19,000 km of it to enjoy.
From castles perched atop clifftops and bustling colonies of seabirds, to perfect white sand beaches and wondrous rock formations, the Scottish coastline has it all.
And it’s pretty accessible to most of the population, with the farthest point from the sea being just 67km (that’s Glen Quoich, near Braemar, for fact fans).
For those who want to walk it there are hundreds of miles of well-maintained coastal paths to enjoy.
Here are 10 of our favourite stretches.

9. Kingsbarns to St Andrews

10. Dowlaw to St Abbs
Running between Dowlaw and St Abbs (also known as New Asgard to fans of superhero movies), this 10km section of the Berwickshire Coastal Path also takes in Fast Castle, the steep 500ft cliffs of Tun Law, the cove of Pettico Wick and St Abbs Lighthouse. Photo: Canva
