A SCOTTISH beach has been named in a list of the most popular in the UK.
Luskentyre beach was ranked 24th in the list, and it’s easy to see why. Located in the isle of Harris, it looks like it’s been taken straight out the Caribbean with beautiful blue water and magnificent coastal view.
The study unveiled by Travel Expert ranks the top 25 UK beaches based on Instagram hashtag counts. Taking the crown is Cornwall's Kynance Cove, with an eye-catching 61,772 hashtags.

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
