Aberdour's beaches have continued to meet strict environmental standards for bathing waters.
In its latest classification, the Scottish Environmental Protection Agency (SEPA) rated Silver Sands as “excellent”, while Black Sands has been labelled “good”.
Ruth Stidson, SEPA’s principal scientist for bathing waters, said: “Scotland started this bathing water season with more bathing waters than ever, and a record-breaking number rated excellent. I’m delighted to say we’ll start next year just as strongly.
“Our bathing waters have the best water quality since 2015, when tighter standards first came into force. Being outdoors can provide many physical and mental health benefits. Our beaches offer opportunities for physical activities and social interaction.”
Net Zero Secretary Mairi McAllan said: “Scotland now has the highest number of designated bathing water sites ever, with the vast majority classified as good or excellent. However, we are not complacent and will continue to work closely with SEPA and Scottish Water to monitor and improve water quality.”
