TWO Scottish cities have been named among the best in the UK for food and drink by Time Out.
Edinburgh and Glasgow ranked sixth and seventh respectively, beating out places like Manchester and Birmingham.
Introducing the ranking, the publication said that the UK is home to plenty of "top-tier" food cities with these being filled to the brim with tasty dishes and lovely restaurants.
The ranking was compiled after quizzing thousands of city dwellers around the country on factors like the quality of their food scenes and the culinary diversity on offer.
Glasgow and Edinburgh named among the best food cities in the UK
The cities were given "notable" overall food quality scores with Edinburgh receiving 86% and Glasgow 87% from Time Out readers.
However, despite scoring higher than Edinburgh, Glasgow was given a lower ranking as the Scottish capital was deemed to be more "gastronomically diverse".
The top spot in the UK went to the English city of Liverpool which received an overall food quality score of 84%.
This city was the closest in Britain to making the top 20 globally, placing 26th in the worldwide list.
