Inverness will see a high of 14 degrees with sunny spells throughout the day.

Edinburgh residents will have slightly lower temperatures, with figures coming in at 13 degrees and slightly cloudy conditions.

Expectations of warm weather comes as the country ends its fifth week of lockdown.

Police Scotland has already signalled plans to bolster patrols at the country’s beauty spots due to forecaster predictions on weather.

The force continued to urge people to stay at their homes in line with emergency legislation.

Chief Inspector Neil Mitchell said: "I wanted to take this opportunity to ask everyone to stay at home and only visit your local parks and beaches if they are within walking distance from your home.

"My officers do not want to stop local people enjoying the outdoors but at this time we must ensure that the guidelines are followed.”
