Scots tourists who wish to sunbathe on some popular European beaches will be charged to do so, in a move to limit visitors. Sardinia in Italy has launched the scheme, which will see UK travellers pay €3 per person for one day's worth of tanning.
Can you go 'taps aff' in the good weather or sunbathe naked in your own garden?

With summer fast approaching we are already beginning to see a number of people go ' taps aff ' in many Scottish parks.
It's a fairly normal occurrence, however, what are the rules for those who want to go a step further and take everything off?
Speaking to the Mirror, the police have offered some guidance for those who plan to sunbathe naked in their gardens this summer.
The good news is that in Scotland it is not an offence to be naked, or partially naked, in a place where you can be seen.
There are caveats attached, as you need to be careful that you're not causing "distress or alarm" to others - as this is a common law offence of offending public decency.

The advice from the police is to let your neighbours know what you're up to before you head out into the sunshine with no clothes on, as this will hopefully avoid any awkward situations.
They said: “If you want to wander around your garden naked and you are overlooked by neighbours then you have to be careful,”.
They add: “In an ideal world, your relationship with your neighbours would be such that they would not object to you gardening in the buff and they would never dream of calling the police.
“In the real world, however, you would be well advised to take some simple precautions."
Police also suggest sunbathing in a part of your garden that is screened from view.
They say: "You will have to decide whether your desire to be naked in your garden is more
