A tiny Scottish airport on the edge of the Atlantic Ocean has been voted the world's most stunning landing spot.
Barra airport in the Outer Hebrides came top of a global poll of pilots and travellers beating the likes of St Barts, the Maldives and Gibraltar.

Re: Barra airport is world's most scenic
I watched a BBC documentary programme filmed on Barra (Island Parish) last week where they they showed a plane landing. They explained that the beach was hard enough for planes to land as there is a layer of rock (concretion?) formed from shells of shellfish.
