Children in the Broughty Ferry sand in July 1987. As much of Scotland enjoys stunning weather this weekend we take a look at those heatwaves Tayside has experienced throughout the decades and how locals cooled off around the coastline. From splashing at Broughty Ferry beach to Arbroath’s public swimming baths, you will want to hit the beach after seeing these throwback snaps. Okay, they might not be in the sea, however locals were cooling off at the Arbroath bathing pool during the summer of 1939 here. Arbroath was one of the original 20 outdoor swimming pools in Scotland.
There were plenty choices on offer at Broughty Ferry beach here in July 1962 as children played on the sand and paddled in the sea whilst others embarked on a boat trip.
