Glasgow's Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Edinburgh's National Museum have been named the best museums in Scotland.
Edinburgh's National Museum of Scotland was ranked the sixth best museum in the UK in Tripadvisor Travellers' Choice awards, with the Kelvingrove coming tenth.
The winner was London's National Gallery, with the capital boasts five of the country's top 10 museums on the list.
The British Museum came second, followed by the Victoria and Albert Museum in third place.
The ranking was based on an algorithm that took into account the quantity and quality of reviews for museums over the past year.
New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art was ranked number one in the world, while the Musee d'Orsay in Paris came top in Europe.
London's National Gallery also took fifth place in the continental ranking.
Chris Gottlieb, of the mayor of London's promotional organisation London and Partners, expressed his delight at the capital's performance.
He said: "We look forward to welcoming visitors from around the globe to experience the world-renowned culture and incredible history and heritage that makes the capital the most popular destination on earth."

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.

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 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.
