The Cairngorms National Park in Scotland was named one of the most beautiful places in the world in a new list released by Bazaar magazine.

Discussing the popular conservation zone and wider Highlands region, the title said: "The Scottish Highlands, located along the northernmost reaches of the British Isles have long attracted artists, adventurous types, royalty and more for their solitude, rugged vistas, and historic castles."

The Scottish national park was the only location in the whole of Britain named on the list with places like Venice in Italy and Machu Picchu in Peru being featured.

The Cairngorms National Park was created in 2003 and covers some 4528 square kilometres.

When it was established, it was only one of two conservation zones created by the Scottish Parliament.

The region has only grown in popularity with almost 2 million people visiting in 2018. As such, tourism makes up around 80% of the local economy.
