Three Scottish locations have been named in the top 20 most Instagrammed landmarks across the UK.
The list was created by the money website comparethemarket.com and looks at those sites and attractions across Britain that people will be looking to visit this summer.
Based on the list of 54 top UK landmarks outside London, the Compare The Market team analysed the relevant hashtags across social media and chose the top 20 based on the UK landmarks with the highest number of hashtags.
Glencoe, Loch Ness and Ben Nevis were the only Scottish entries in the top 20.
The awe-inspiring views of Glencoe (second) and the mysterious waters of Loch Ness (third) both finished in the top 3 on the list, while Ben Nevis finished in 11th.
