The Scottish Government does not hold information on local authorities who take on responsibility for the cleaning of beaches in their areas. However, several local authorities are confirmed as cleansing their Amenity and Recreational beaches, as part of the beach award programmes administered by Keep Scotland Beautiful. These are: Aberdeen; Aberdeenshire; Angus; Argyll and Bute; City of Edinburgh; Dundee; East Lothian; Fife; Highland; North Ayrshire; Scottish Borders; Shetland, and South Ayrshire.
