London remains the most popular place for getaways in Britain but two Scottish cities have also been named in the top five destinations for UK breaks.

Holiday website Expedia.co.uk ranked the English capital as the number one city based on bookings for January. However, Edinburgh and Glasgow were second and fourth respectively with officials highlighting Scotland's largest city as the most "exciting" in the UK.

Mike Cantlay, chairman of VisitScotland, said: "To see both Edinburgh and Glasgow feature in the UK's top five destinations is tremendously welcome. Glasgow is becoming increasingly well known for its museums and its shopping and earning a reputation as one of the UK's most exciting cities."

Many people have been favouring holidays in England as a way to cut down travel insurance and other costly fees involved when travelling abroad.

Skiing holidays have been very popular with Brits but many insurance firms have warned that if people do not take out the correct cover it could lead to expensive repercussions should they have an accident.
