Scotland has been rated the best country in Europe for respecting the rights of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersex people.
The country comes ahead of the rest of the UK in the 2015 Rainbow Index, an annual ranking compiled by human rights organisation ILGA-Europe.
Under the ranking, each member state of Europe is given a percentage score that reflects the progress of equality for LBGTI people in its judicial and social systems. The score is derived from 48 criteria, which include legal protections from discrimination in employment and services, policy to tackle hate crime, and equality in family law including same-sex marriage.
Scotland scored 92pc to come top of the table. The UK as a whole was second, with 86pc, and Belgium third (83pc). Malta were a surprise fourth (77pc), up from eighth the preceding year
