A Glasgow area has been named on a list of the world's 'coolest neighbourhoods'.

Time Out has released its seventh annual list with Strathbungo in the city's Southside coming in at number 22 on the charts.

It is the only Glasgow entry - in fact, the only entry in Scotland - to feature.

Strathbungo is known for its elegant Victorian architecture including traditional tenement houses, great local pubs and restaurants and its annual Window Wonderland where residents place artwork in their windows to create one long gallery in the street.

Notre Dame du Mont in Marseille, France, took the top spot on Time Out's list, while a concrete jungle in Casablanca, a beach spot in Bali and a fashion district in Seoul also appeared.

Time Out compiled the list based on culture, diverse things to do and a great sense of community.

To create the ranking this year, Time Out’s global travel editors worked with local writers and editors across some of the world’s best cities and asked them what the 'coolest neighbourhood' in their city is right now, and why.

Grace Beard, Travel Editor at Time Out, said: “Time Out’s annual ranking of the World’s Coolest Neighbourhoods celebrates the most unique and exciting pockets of our cities.

"The neighbourhoods on this year’s list have a lot in common: great places to eat and drink, cutting-edge culture, street life and a thriving community.

"But they’re also a distinct reflection of their cities, with each of them offering something special you wouldn’t find anywhere else. Some have only just reached their moment; others have been ‘cool’ for some time and are finding a new groove – all of them should be on your radar to visit in these cities."
