Broughty Ferry beach has retained an environment award for its cleanliness and seaside experience.
Keep Scotland Beautiful today announced the winners of the 2014 Scottish Seaside Awards, with Broughty Ferry receiving the Resort Seaside Award for the 11th year in a row.
The independent environmental charity gives the annual awards in recognition of good water quality and excellent litter, safety and environmental management procedures.
More beaches than ever received credit for environmental quality and an exceptional seaside experience, with 61 beaches recognised this year.
Broughty Ferry beach has been proudly flying the Seaside Award flag consistently since 2004.
Dundee City Council environment convener Craig Melville said: “We are delighted to receive this Resort Seaside Award status for Broughty Ferry beach.
“The city council’s ongoing maintenance of the beach area provides a leisure destination that meets very strict standards.
“It is a top-class facility and I am sure it will be enjoyed by many people this year.”
Celebrating some of the cleanest and best managed beaches in the country, the Seaside Award scheme has been used as a quality benchmark for Scotland’s beaches for the past 22 years.
The awards for 2014 were unveiled by Tourism Minister Fergus Ewing, during a visit to Nairn beach.
Mark Bevan, head of campaigns at Keep Scotland Beautiful, said: “Keep Scotland Beautiful is working to improve the quality of our local environment across the country, and we know that beaches are an important asset for local communities and their economies so it is great to announce so many awards in recognition of excellent management this year, including in Dundee.”
