Readers of travel guidebook Rough Guide voted Scotland as "the most beautiful country in the world", beating Canada and New Zealand to the top spot.
On the company's website, the listing for Scotland read: "And finally, the world's most beautiful country is revealed: Scotland. Who can deny that these wild beaches, deep lochs and craggy castles are some of the most wonderful and beautiful sights in the world?"
