A small picturesque beach on a Scottish island has been named as one of the UK's most beautiful places. Travel publication Time Out has put together a list of 15 of the most picturesque places across the nation.
Coming in at number four is Singing Sands on the Isle of Eigg.One of the Small Isles in Scotland's Inner Hebrides, Eigg is home to a population of around just 100 people.
