Scots across the country have shared their images of Scotland's fiery skies, as the first day of March comes to a close.
It follows a February that saw some of the lowest temperatures of the UK’s winter season.

Cold conditions from the east brought temperatures down to -23C at Braemar in Aberdeenshire on February 11, the lowest temperature in the UK since 1995 and the lowest in February since 1955, according to the Met Office.
But after a day of spring sunshine, Scots are now heralding in the springtime with pictures of the most incredible sunsets in Glasgow, Stirling, Argyll, Ayr and elsewhere.
