Thu 24 Jul: Reader Raymond Clark from Dunfermline, Fife, photographed Loch Tay at Kenmore in Perthshire, looking south-west, a picture of tranquillity before the recent heatwave broke

Tue 23 Jul: While out cycling recently, Ian Campbell shot this image of St Mary’s Loch in the Scottish Borders, featuring the yacht club on the left

Mon 22 Jul: David Mollison says: ‘Not all of Scotland was experiencing a heat wave as I discovered at Eilean Donan Castle last week. The overcast conditions made for an atmospheric photograph though’

Sat 20 Jul: Iain Wilkinson from Dunfermline took this photograph of the harbour at Anstruther, which is probably not an unpleasant place to be right now

Fri 19 Jul: Evelyn Grierson took this photo of the Queen’s Ride in Jedburgh, which follows part of the route that Mary Queen of Scots took when she visited the wounded Bothwell at Hermitage Castle
