The University of Edinburgh achieved second place and was ranked 10th UK- wide. Meanwhile, the University of Glasgow came third and was ranked 14th in Britain.
St Andrews University has also been named Scottish University of the Year in the publication, and sits in second place in the UK-wide league table.
Results show 87% of students go to "high-skilled jobs or study".
The establishment also beat all other universities in Scotland in the national student survey for teaching quality (84%) and student experience (80.5%).
The publication provides rankings for UK universities using data published in the last two months, and an overview of higher education in Britain.

Zoe Thomas, principal author of the guide, said: "St Andrews is the best performing university in Scotland and is second-top across the UK, keeping Cambridge in third place.
"It scores exceptionally well on student satisfaction and graduate employment, and has earned the well-deserved accolade of Scottish University of the Year."
In fourth and fifth place came the University of Strathclyde and the University of Aberdeen, respectively.
