This retro photo gallery shows children and their families making the most of the summer around Scotland during the 1950s, 60s, 70s and 80s.
Holidaymakers are pictured paddling at the beach, taking the plunge at the lido and cruising down the river in these nostalgic images.
Trips to the zoo, where visitors are pictured watching the popular penguin parade; pony rides; and summer fairs, where the attractions included a dog on a scooter, are among the summer activities captured in these atmospheric black and white pictures.
Sunbathers are shown soaking up the rays, or using any means possible to cool down as the sun shines, but crowds are also seen huddled in the rain when the summer weather wasn’t being so kind.
A floating museum, a Scottish football legend getting mobbed by young fans, and fun times at the fairground are among the other memorable images of yesteryear captured in this gallery.
Do these photos bring back any happy memories for you of summers past?
