The iconic Fairy Pools on the isle of Skye have been declared the best picnic spot in Scotland.
Its “outstanding natural beauty” and historical significance helped the popular site to be chosen as a winner by National Picnic Week.
The world-famous tourist destination is a series of waterfalls and pools in Glenbrittle, which attract wild swimmers and sightseers from all over the world.
A number of locations throughout England and Ireland were also named as regional winners.
The overall winner was the Jubilee Gardens in Beer, Devon, chosen for the stunning view of the beach and village from atop an idyllic hillside.
Adam Cox, founder of National Picnic Week, said: “It was a difficult choice to choose the winners and runners up throughout the UK as we are always inundated with nominations.
“The winners were chosen due a to variables including their scenic locations, cultural significance and either popularity or reputation as being a ‘hidden gem’.
“National Picnic Week was created to inspire families, friends and couples to celebrate our outdoor locations by taking a picnic. The best days out are a combination of good people, good food and good weather.
“Luckily we’ve been having fantastic weather so far this National Picnic Week so if you haven’t already had a picnic this year, get out there while the weather is still good.”
The Fairy Pools were recently named as the best place in Britain for wild swimming by the travel guide Wanderlust.
The guidebook says: “The spellbinding aqua colours make you want to believe these waters are those of the Seychelles, but at 6°C they are far from it.”
