Restaurants across Scotland have been included on an annual Top 100 list that celebrates the UK's "beautifully varied dining scene".
The Top 100 from independent restaurant guide, SquareMeal, is the only one of its kind to exclude London venues allowing the wider UK to "truly shine".
Using a combination of thousands of reader votes and opinion from expert critics, the list features everything from fine dining experiences through to farm-to-table restaurants and gastropubs.

SquareMeal’s restaurants editor, Pete Dreyer, said: "Restaurants never cease to amaze us.
"Every year we're blown away by talented teams, who always seem to find new, innovative ways to push the boundaries of food.
"As always we're so grateful to everyone who works in hospitality, and we're forever in awe of the passion and love that goes into restaurants up and down the country.
"A huge thank you also to the thousands upon thousands who voted to support their favourite restaurants this year."
