The temperature at Portobello reached around 25° on Monday and locals took full advantage of the sandy beach.

And it looks as though there is even more to come this week, although it remains about 10° warmer in the South of England than it is in Scotland. UV levels are estimated to be high – so follow the advice of Baz Luhrmann – and Wear Sunscreen.
