It’s less than 24 hours since Scotland enjoyed its hottest day – and the heat and sunshine is set to continue for the rest of this week.

Temperatures of 25°C were recorded across Tayside over the weekend, with thermometers expected to record similar temperatures across Scotland over the next few days.

We sent our photographers out into the heat to capture people enjoying this sunny Monday.
