A Scottish hotel situated in an "enchanting" area of the country has been named one of the best in the world.
Lundies House in the Highlands was named the 22nd-best hotel in the world and was praised for its "enchanting" surroundings and "surprisingly" good value.
The hotel was featured alongside a number of respected establishments such as La Casa del Califa in Spain and Borgo Santo Pietro in Tuscany, Italy.
Introducing the list, The Telegraph said: "Some 24 of our hotel reviewers made up five judging panels; Europe, Asia, Americas and Caribbean, Africa and Oceania.
"Using their own expertise, our reviews and an analytical formula, they were able to rate and thus rank the hotels in question."

Discussing Lundies House, The Telegraph said: "This Scandi-Scottish-styled lodge on the northern-most stretch of the enchanting Highlands is a full-board, luxury experience that feels out of this world, in an equally extraordinary landscape.
"Experiences like this don’t usually come cheap, but the various inclusions at Lundies House make it a surprisingly good-value proposition.
"The aesthetic is arthouse luxury but also homely, with huge arrangements of foraged wildflowers dotted around the rooms. There’s a fire pit outside, with blankets and benches surrounding it, and an honesty bar in the main house, stocked with local gins and other treats.
"Chefs work all day to prepare supper, working with locally sourced ingredients and herbs from the garden."
Mark C O'Flaherty, one of the European judges employed by the publication, added: “Every detail of your stay has been laboured over, including the Mismo backpacks you can borrow to carry your sandwiches in (made from home-baked bread, wrapped in waxed brown paper and tied up with string)."
The hotel has also received much praise from visitors on Tripadvisor with users giving the spot a 5/5.
