A part of Renfrewshire has been named one of the most "underrated" destinations in the UK.

Paisley has topped a new list of must-visit towns compiled by Betway.

The ranking analysed more than 50 towns across Britain.

Betway's formula was based on key factors such as the number of independent shops, cultural landmarks, highly rated restaurants, music events, TikTok popularity, and even summer temperature.

Judges praised its impressive 20 listed landmarks, eight independent shops, 69 four-star-or-above restaurants on TripAdvisor, and 62 annual music event events.

The accolade comes after the town saw a 39 per cent surge in Google searches in the last month and racked up over 63,000 TikTok posts.

Paisley took top spot for Scotland, with Hastings taking the UK title.
