Edinburgh has been named the UK's most walkable city in a new survey by charity Living Streets.

The Scottish capital came out on top in the pool, which asked 2000 residents from the country's ten biggest cities to rate their experiences in a range of categories.

Edinburgh came top in all categories bar one, dropping to second when asked about how easy it was to reach local shops and services on foot.

The survey coincides with the launch of National Walking Month, which urges members of the public to ditch the car or public transport and pound the pavement.

A fifth of respondents (20%) said they would definitely walk more if it were safer and easier while over a third (38%) stated their pavements are poorly maintained and cluttered.
