A scorching day brings Scottish summer temperatures in Dundee and Broughty Ferry.

Dundee and Broughty Ferry experienced unseasonably warm weather today, with temperatures reaching 20°C. Residents took advantage of the sunny conditions, gathering in local parks and forming queues at ice cream vans.

Families in Fife also ditched the winter jackets and headed out to enjoy the pleasant temperatures.

Our photographers were out to capture some of the fun:
