New research has discovered the sunniest areas of Scotland - and those which seem perpetually cloud-covered.
The Sun Report was created by MG Timber and Online Marketing Surgery to rank areas across in Scotland based on their average hour of sunlight per month throughout the year, revealing the best and worst areas to look out for when it comes to sun this summer.
They used data released from the Met Office, looking at the amount of sunlight recorded by climate stations in Scotland from 1991-2020, before working out the overall average of all hours sunlight across a 12 month period.
The sunniest place was Leuchars, in Fife, which enjoys an average of 131.15 hours of sunshine each month.
Meanwhile Kinlochewe, in the Highlands, recorded the least amount of sun, with just 77.2 hours each month.
Here are the 10 sunniest places in Scotland, according to the research,
