The hills are alive: This impressive shot of 11-year-old Hamish at sunrise up the Pentland Hills, with the snow starting to be blown off the peak, was captured by dad Andy Dryden.

Minus coo degrees: "Hardy Highlander at Abriachan" is how Gordon Bain described his photo.

Red sky thinking: "I always walk the dog to catch the sunrise and to gather my thoughts before attempting to juggle home schooling of my two primary school kids with working from home and looking after a toddler", says Mairi Brittan at Cammo Estate, Edinburgh.

Robin red brrr-east: Graham Laird spotted a little feathered friend not looking entirely delighted while taking a breather in the cold in his garden in Wishaw.

Up at the crack of dawn: "The Beveridge Park pond in Kirkcaldy looking rather icy", says John Pow.

An uphill struggle: It's all downhill from here - but in a fun way - for three-year-old Zachary in King's Park, Glasgow.

Fire and ice: "Taken at Dunbar harbour, East Lothian, in the snowfall on the way to work", says Rowan Davies.

Abbey thoughts: "Jedburgh Abbey on a crisp January morning", says Alan Morrison. "The sun was captured just as it shone through".

Son rise: Jeanette Taylor says her two boys loved the adventure of getting up early to see the sun come up at Aberdeen beach. "A chilly visit but oh so worth it", she says.

Light on her feet: "As keen figure skaters my daughter Ada (pictured) and I have had an amazing week skating outdoors on our local frozen pond near Glasgow", says Helen Campbell. "I was very careful to check it is safe to skate on first; the ice was absolutely solid".

Flagging up a beautiful sunrise: An Aberdeen morning, from Finlay Gray.

Well-trained eye: "My husband Kris took this picture of our 12-year-old son Finlay at our local running track in a Falkirk park with the Ochils in the background", says Emma Horne. "Finlay can’t play his beloved rugby at the moment due to Covid but is keeping as fit as he can in other ways".

A strange light in the sky: Joe Gillies captured this Glasgow scene, complete with reflected light shade, on his phone.

Park life: Mark McGuire captured Queen's Park in Glasgow looking like a winter wonderland.

Special branch: "I have seen the Kingfisher darting by on the River Carron over the last two years", says Paul Ross. "This is the first time I have managed to get a sharpish image".

Trees frame: Carole Brunton captured this calming, if cold, scene at home in East Neuk, Fife.

Cold feet: "A coot on one of Dundee's frozen Stobsmuir ponds", from Sandy Forbes.

Having the foggiest idea: "An image of atmospheric fog as it envelops Paisley", says Gary Chittick. "Hardly a single recognisable part of Glasgow could be seen".

Sniffer dog: "Ollie, our 12-week-old cockapoo pup, experiences snow for the first time" says Iain Clow. "Lockdown garden fun in East Kilbride".

... and it seems they never learn! "Zizou enjoying his sunny snowy morning walk at the river Spey in Knockando", says Colin Coutts.

I love Arran: "My wife and I stopped at the top of Fairlie Moor Road, looked back, and this is what we saw", explains Phil Cowling.

Outstanding in its field: "Look who we spotted on our walk", says Ruth Moss. "He was very bold - wish we’d had something to feed him".

Watercolour art: "This is a photo of the Ythan in the centre of Ellon", says Andy Leonard. "The colour of the sky is reflected in the water - I used a slow shutter speed to emphasise the water movement."

Hatman and robin: "After an overnight fall of snow, Frosty and his friendly robin return to a Glasgow garden", says John McQueeney.

Small wonder: "These mini snowmen on the Prince of Wales Bridge in Kelvingrove Park brightened up a dull and foggy day", says Geoff Der.
