Glaswegians searching for love online are among the highest percentage of drug users, according to a US dating website.
The 50,000 active members of AYI.com across the UK were analysed to discover which areas of the country have singletons who are most likely to use drugs.
Glasgow shared the third spot with London and Preston with 7.8 per cent of users admitting to drug use.
Bolton was ahead with the highest percentage of 10.3 per cent while Brighton fell into second place, with 8.5 per cent.
Around 90 per cent of the free-to-register site's membership is aged 30 years or over, with the average age of a member around 45 years old.
The website users were presented with the basic question "Drugs?", and the options to choose were "Never", "Sometimes" or "Often".
Other Scottish cities who made the poll included Edinburgh with 7.1 per cent of members confessing to drug use while Aberdeen came in at 5.2 per cent.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
