An internet holiday firm have published the top ten places to go for a naked holiday - with the notable exception of Irvine!

The survey claims to list all the best places for holidaymakers who want to leave their bags at home and enjoy what they dub a "nakation".

But, although the new research details everything from naked bungee jumping in Canada to naked golf in France, it fails to mention that Irvine was once home to Scotland's only nude beach.

Although the idea has since been covered up, the Times thought this was the perfect opportunity to look back at the failed nude beach experiment down at our local coastline.
