Scotland's most beautiful beaches with clear water and golden sands revealed
Fifty-two beaches across Scotland have been recognised in the Keep Scotland Beautiful Awards for their clean, safe, and well-managed shores along the nation's coastline From sweeping bays to sheltered coves, 52 beaches across Scotland have been officially recognised in this year's Keep Scotland Beautiful Awards, celebrating the best of the nation's 11,800 kilometres of coastline. Run by the environmental charity for over three decades, Scotland's Beach Awards are seen as the benchmark for quality, rewarding beaches that are clean, safe, well-managed and accessible. Each winner proudly flies a special flag to let locals and visitors know it meets the highest standards. The awards aim to guide people towards the best places for a dip, a picnic or just soaking up the coastal views. Whether you're staying close to home or planning a seaside getaway, the scheme highlights the cleanest and most scenic shores across the country. 'Congratulations to all the winners for their achievements,' said VisitScotland Chief Executive Vicki Miller. 'It's particularly encouraging to see some beaches making a return to the awards. "This demonstrates a real dedication to improving the visitor experience and environment. Our communities, along with our natural and cultural heritage, are what make Scotland so special. It's vital we protect and preserve them for the future.' This year, Fife once again leads the way with the highest number of awards, boasting 13 winning beaches. Among them, St Andrews West Sands stood out as the only beach to be honoured every single year for the past 33 years. Nearby, East Sands has received the award for the last 25 years in a row, while Aberdour's Silver Sands continues its long streak with a 32nd consecutive nod. Other Fife favourites also returned to the list, including Pettycur Bay in Kinghorn, now recognised 25 years running. Elie Harbour was included for the 14th year, Ruby Bay in Elie for the 27th, and Crail's Roome Bay again featured among the winners. Aberdeenshire and East Lothian followed closely behind with eight beaches apiece making the grade. Aberdeenshire's winners included Stonehaven Bay and Fraserburgh's Tigerhill Beach, while East Lothian celebrated wins for Gullane Bents, North Berwick's West Beach and Belhaven Bay in Dunbar's John Muir Country Park, among others. Angus contributed six beaches to the list, with long-standing favourites such as Montrose Seafront (22 years), Carnoustie (20 years), and Lunan Bay, which was recognised for the ninth year running. Loch Morlich in the Cairngorms National Park stood out as the only inland beach to receive an award. It was one of four Highland winners, joining Brora (24 years), Dornoch (31 years) and Nairn Beach. Shetland saw two beaches earn the accolade: West Sandwick, now in its 15th year, and Sands of Breacon for the second time. In North Ayrshire, Irvine Beach and Millport's Newton Beach were celebrated, with Newton making a welcome return after recent investment. Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!

Now in its 33rd year, the award scheme continues to play a key role in protecting Scotland's beaches for both people and wildlife. Alongside celebrating beauty and accessibility, beaches must also meet strict criteria around cleanliness, facilities, safety and environmental quality. The awards complement work by the Scottish Environment Protection Agency on monitoring bathing water standards. For the full list see here.

England's top tourist experience is ‘perfect' — animal lovers want to live there
From historical castles and monuments, to brand-new food tours, shows and museums, England has so much to offer visitors who come in their droves. And it's not just those flying in from abroad who explore the likes of Cornwall's beaches or the Liverpool's nightlife – it seems we love being tourists at home, with Brits taking 906 million day trips and 90 million overnight trips in England last year. So, if you're looking for some staycation inspo, look no further: Visit England have announced the winners of their Awards for Excellence, which recognise the best tourism businesses across the country. And when it came to the best experience that the country has to offer, it was an unexpected visit to a farm that claimed the top spot. Head north to Yorkshire, and book yourself onto Dumble Farm's Cow Cuddling & Highland Cow Experience. Fuel your wanderlust with our curated newsletter of travel deals, guides and inspiration. Sign up here. Nestled in Arram, near to Beverley in East Yorkshire, Dumble is a working farm with a focus on conservation and sustainability. At the heart of their work is caring for their 65 plus strong herd of Highland cows. As well as educating visitors about this endangered species, Dumble Farm say spending time with the cows has a calming effect and a positive impact on general well-being. And that's where cuddling comes in. Visitors on the three and a half hour tour get up close and personal with the 'affectionate and gentle' animals. There's a meeting with the adorable young cows, which guests can groom and get to know. Then it's onto the cuddle cows who are 'nearly always lying down' meaning visitors can lie back and relax with the animals. Then there's a safari around the farm, during which there's an opportunity to feed Highland cows from a trailer, before heading back for tea and cakes. The £95 price tag goes towards supporting the farm's conservation work. More Trending And, tourists have certainly not been disappointed after booking onto the tour, calling it the 'best day ever'. 'I would live here if I could,' wrote a TripAdvisor reviewer who did the tour in April. While another said: 'Don't think about it, do it'. And a third called it 'moo-sively impressive'. If you want to book onto the tour, you'll need to plan ahead. Tickets are snapped up fast, with a release dropping a month in advance. Cow cuddling stops for the summer though, so you'll have to wait until autumn before you can have start snuggling. Metro's Lifestyle Reporter, Courtney Pochin, tried cow cuddling at Hopefield Animal Sanctuary in Brentwood. As well as dairy cows, Hopefield is home to donkeys, sheep, pigs, horses, Shetland ponies, cats, rabbits, alpacas, reindeer, a boa constrictor, parrots, and a fox. There are also several exotic animals such as tanukis and skunks. 'As I entered the field, two Friesian cows, Jude and Devon ambled over. I know it sounds silly, but as most of the viral cow cuddling videos I'd seen online had featured much smaller calves, when these two gentle giants plodded over, my jaw dropped. 'There was no way I was ever going to be able to get my arms around them for a proper cuddle, although a taller (and braver) person might have been able to do so. 'Despite their somewhat intimidating size, however, Jude and Devon were just like big dogs. They licked my hand, allowed me to scratch their necks and backs, and were playful when it came to getting treats. 'A fun fact I discovered about cows is that they drool rather a lot, so feeding them by hand gets pretty messy. I just about managed to escape without getting slobber in my hair (my clothes weren't quite as fortunate). 'While suffice to say it wasn't quite the therapeutic experience TikTok had sold me on, there's no denying that it was a great activity for my general wellbeing. It was something different, it was fun, and I felt like Jude and I had become pals by the end. I left with a big smile on my face.' Do you have a story to share?

Family sells landmark hotel in popular Scottish town
The sale of the Dreadnought Hotel in Callander, Stirlingshire, to Caledonian Travel was handled by Christie & Co. The hotel has 63 ensuite letting rooms, the MacNab restaurant and bar, a small events room and a beer garden. The previous owners bought the property in 2017 and were selling due to retirement. Tony Spence, associate director at Christie & Co, said: 'We were delighted to act for our clients in the sale of the hotel which now allows them to retire from the hospitality trade. 'This was the second hotel where Christie & Co has acted for the family and we are grateful they had trust in us to deliver. There remains good activity within the market and we would urge any vendors who are considering a sale or purchase to get in touch to discuss further.' READ MORE: Caledonian Leisure, which operates under the Caledonian Travel and UKBreakaways brands, in partnership with its investors, hailed completion of the purchase. The hotel is to be rebranded The Caledonian Thistle Hotel, a name chosen to reflect its 'proud Scottish heritage and the company's ambition to further establish a presence in key Scottish tourism hotspots'. Graham Rogers, managing director at Caledonian Leisure, said: 'After the success of The Caledonian Hotel Collection in Torquay, Blackpool, Scarborough and Arrochar, we're delighted to welcome another hotel to our family. With sector-leading customer review scores and rising demand across our brands, this investment is a key step in strengthening our year-round offering in Scotland.' A 'significant investment' programme is now under way to enhance both the interior and exterior of the property. The hotel will be ready to welcome guests from the end of July, operating 12 months of the year to meet demand from both coach-inclusive and self-drive customers. The refurbishment will deliver upgraded bedrooms, refreshed communal areas and improvements to the entertainment facilities. David McDonald, finance director at Caledonian Leisure, said: 'Callander is a wonderful base for customers looking to explore with so many outstanding and beautiful areas within easy reach of this delightful Scottish town. The locally renowned MacNab's Bar will remain open for everyone, and in a nod to the traditions of the hotel, we'll be renaming the restaurant The Dreadnought Restaurant.' Mr McDonald added: 'Right now, we're actively recruiting local people to deliver exceptional hospitality as we prepare to reopen the hotel this summer after this extensive refurbishment project.' The agent said that 'the property boasts exceptional character throughout, complimenting a traditional Highland interior and stone exterior that can be dated back to the seventeenth century'.
