Schoolgirls have been reprimanded for failing to wear tights as temperatures soared.
Like much of the country, Oban in Argyll has been basking in a bit of summer sunshine as the mercury hit 23C in the town on Wednesday.
But while many of us were throwing open our windows, a number of parents have said their daughters at Oban High School were pulled up for school uniform violations.
The girls have been making adjustments to cope with the warm weather and wearing socks instead of tights underneath their school skirts.
The mother of a first-year girl at Oban High School said her daughter was upset to be given "a row" for her clothing, despite being smartly dressed.
Jayne Donn said: "She got pulled up yesterday. It was the first thing she said when she got home, so it obviously really upset her.
"She looked smart. She was wearing a knee-length skirt, knee-high socks, a shirt and tie.
"She got a good report card and hates getting into trouble.
"I checked the school rules. There is no mention of socks with skirts whatsoever.
"The guidelines state that shorts can be worn. They are not going to make boys wear tights with their shorts, so this is really not fair.”
Other schools have previously come under fire for enforcing a uniform policy demanding that female pupils wear tights as part of their uniform, even as temperatures soared over the summer.
A Welsh high school eventually ditched the policy in 2018 after parents complained that girls were being forced to wear tights in 30C temperatures.
Another parent, the father of a teenage girl, said he was angry about the situation.
He said: "My daughter was wearing a knee-length skirt and black knee-high socks.
"She was told by a senior teacher that if she came in like that again, she would be made to wear tights.
"I think we have got bigger problems just now."
Oban councillor Julie McKenzie said the school's approach was "draconian".
She added: "It beggars belief that any school would take such a draconian approach to girls wearing socks, and never more so at a time when our children's mental health is already being seriously impacted due to the pandemic."
In response to the questions raised by parents, a statement about the policy was issued through Argyll and Bute Council.
A spokeswoman said: "Oban High School's uniform policy was created following consultation with pupils, parents and staff, and has been in place for over a decade."
