Following the news that Luskentyre beach on the Isle of Harris had been voted among the top ten beaches in the UK, we at Scotsman.com asked our Facebook users to tell us their favourite Scottish beach.

After receiving a terrific amount of feedback we took the most popular comments, found suitable photographs to highlight the scenic beauty and put them together in a video.

We hope you enjoy.
