The Isle of Skye has topped the list of the UK's most romantic places.

According to a recent survey, the island's Fairy Pools in Glenbrittle, featuring beautifully crystal clear blue pools, make up the most romantic spot.

Elsewhere in Scotland, the Falls of Bruar in Perth and Arthur’s Seat in Edinburgh also feature in the top 20 list.

To mark Skye topping the list, publishers Mills & Boon - who conducted the survey - have commissioned a new book, A Scandalous Liaison on Skye, to celebrate the island's new romantic title.

Lisa Milton, Mills & Boon Executive Publisher, said: “When it comes to a summer getaway with a loved one, we all want to make it as romantic as possible. Our survey has identified the definitive romantic places in Britain and the world.

"With all of us looking for any opportunity to bring a little extra romance into our hectic lives, holidays in these places offer the perfect chance to switch off and rediscover romance."

The survey also named Paris as the most romantic place in the worlds, closely followed by Santorini and Venice.

While almost 50 per cent of people who took part in the poll said they had enjoyed a summer fling at some point in their life.
