This month's balmy temperatures have brought the public out to the bonnie banks of Loch Lomond in force, enjoying the radiant sunshine to the max with everything from barbecues to water sports.

July 8 turned out to be a scorcher - and our photographer headed over to Drumkinnon Bay and Loch Lomond Shores to capture the summer vibes in these delightful pictures.

The loch's banks wer abuzz with people of all ages, who had travelled from across the region to soak up the rays around some of Scotland's most stunning landscapes.

Sunbathing and picnics were the order of the day for many, while others took to the loch in kayaks to cool off - and water zorbing was even on the cards for young 'uns at Loch Lomond Shores.

There were smiles all round, with hopes there will a few more 'taps aff' days to enjoy before the month is out.
