Holidu, the search engine for holiday rentals, examined the search volume in the past year for all Scottish towns and villages with a population of less than 20,000.
The ranking was drawn up using the average number of monthly searches on Google for these locations with the terms "things to do in" and "what to do in” to determine the most popular destinations with holiday-makers.
And here are the results...
