THREE rooftop bars in Scotland have been named among the best in the world in a new list featuring spots in Bangkok, London and Barcelona.

Found in the country's two largest cities, the bars have been ranked on a number of factors such as customer experience, the price of a bottle of wine and the number of Instagram shares reached by each location.

Introducing the list, digital specialists Mandoe said: "Is there anything better than sipping your favourite drink with the spectacular backdrop of a panoramic city view?

"Good friends, delicious drinks and epic vibes are a must for any night out. Adding altitude and a twinkling city skyline takes the fun to a whole new level.

"But choosing the best rooftop bar can be tricky and your reputation might be riding on it. Are you after the best view? Or is it more important to avoid bad service, over-priced drinks and big crowds?"
