A classic view of Glencoe has been named as the UK's second best sight.

The vista from the summit of Snowdon in North Wales was number one in a poll of more than 2,500 people to mark the launch of the Samsung Galaxy S8 smartphone.

The view of Loch Ness from Dores, and seeing Loch Lomond spread out in front of you the slopes of Conic Hill also made it into the top 10 views.

The most important factor for a quintessentially British view was found to be rolling countryside, with 42% of people agreeing with that statement.

Britons under the age of 55 take an average of 1,071 photographs on their mobile each year, according to the study.
