March is a time when even popular holiday destinations like the south of France or the Costa del Sol can still be a little chilly.
So, if you're looking for some warmth then you'll have to look a little further afield.
Many of the hotter tourist choices require inconvenient, tiring and time consuming flight connections if you're starting your journey in Scotland.
But there are a fair few choices that offer the convenience of a direct flight with the reward of high temperatures at the end of it.
Here are 11 of them.
1. Doha
Qatar Airlines have direct flights to their capital city of Doha from Edinburgh. A seven hour flight away, the financial hub is located on the Persian Gulf coast so you can easily escape the urban landscape to get to the beach.
