There’s plenty of culture to enjoy

But some of the top trending destinations could come as a surprise.

Over a third of Scots are planning to visit a new destination this summer.

This year’s fastest-growing destinations list is dominated by coastal towns.

And coming in top place in Scotland is not popular spots like Glasgow or Edinburgh – but Dundee.

The city has undergone an extensive waterfront regeneration and the addition of the V&A Museum to the banks of the River Tay has spruced up the city of discovery considerably.

But, according to TripAdvisor, it hasn’t gone to Dundonians’ heads. They say: “With plenty of wit and character, the locals are some of the friendliest in the UK.”

There’s also loads to do from learning about science to visiting historic ships or enjoying the theatres, arts centres, coffee shops and cool bars, as well as walking routes around the city.

Coming in first place across the UK for trending destinations is the village of Seaview, on the Isle of Wight.

Known as one of the island’s more upmarket communities it is frequented by politicians and celebs during the summer months.

It’s packed with quirky shops, restaurants and pubs and has a nearby award-winning distillery, its own nature reserve and a fantastic playpark.
