Most Instagrammable streets in the UK: Glasgow nightspot and Loch Lomond village make the top 10

A popular Glasgow nightspot and a cute wee Loch Lomond village have found themselves named among the most Instagrammable streets in the country in a new poll.

The poll, conducted by Direct2Florist, saw streets compiled based on newspaper survey data of the UK’s most beautiful streets and then ranked based on the total number of Instagram hashtags each street has received to date.

The Glasgow 'honour' goes to none other than Ashton Lane, which has received nearly 30,000 hashtags on Instagram from locals and tourists alike who have paid visit to the cobbled lane in the west end.

The not-so hidden gem came in at number 10 in the top 15 most Instagrammable streets in the UK, and number five in the top 10 most Instagrammable streets in Scotland.

Joining it on the Scottish list at number nine with 375 hashtags is Pier Road in Luss on the banks of Loch Lomond.

A firm favourite with Glaswegian daytrippers, the wee road leading through the picturesque village is home to around 20 beautiful listed cottages, many of which date from the 19th century.

Speaking about the poll, Simon Stirling of Direct2Florist said:“One of the best things about the UK are the quaint little side streets and beautiful roads which make up some of our oldest and best towns and cities.

"Some of these streets are world famous, and with travel most likely restricted to the UK this summer, there couldn’t be a better time to get out there and tick these beauty spots off your bucket list.

“With city breaks becoming a bigger focus this year, we wanted to pull together a handy guide of the most beautiful streets to visit post lockdown, and did so through Instagram - on the logic that the more hashtags for the street, the more photogenic and more beautiful it was. These are the perfect streets to visit this summer for a cake and a coffee or a pint.”
