Five Scottish swimming pools and lidos to head to this weekend as weather heats up
We have rounded up some of the best spots in Scotland for an outdoor swim. This weekend is set to bring sizzling temperatures across Scotland. With highs of 30 degrees Celsius predicted in parts of the country, it might be a record-breaking few days of weather. There comes a point when the heat can get too much and start to become uncomfortable. If there was ever a weekend to go for a swim, this is it. All over the country, there are indoor pools where Scots can head to cool down. There is also no shortage of picturesque beaches where you can dip your toes in the water. However, if you are after something a bit different, Scotland is also home to a number of lidos and outdoor swimming pools. These are perfect if you still want to make the most of the good weather while also taking advantage of the fun that swimming pools bring. To help keep cool, The Daily Record has rounded up five of these outdoor swimming spots around Scotland. From Fife to Wick, you won't be too far from at least one of them. Stonehaven Open Air Swimming Pool, Stonehaven The Stonehaven Open Air Swimming Pool is one of the most popular and renowned outdoor swimming pools in Scotland, and for good reason. Situated in the coastal Aberdeenshire town of Stonehaven, the attraction is the only art deco Olympic-sized seawater lido in the UK. The pool, which will remain open for the summer until early September, is heated and offers everything from fun sessions with inflatables for families to quiet swims. It even hosts special midnight sessions for those wanting a dip in the water under the stars. More information can be found on the Stonehaven Open Air Swimming Pool website. The Trinkie, Wick The Trinkie is a natural sea water pool located in Wick that is especially popular amongst swimmers and picnickers when the mercury rises. Its name comes from the Scots word for 'trench', with the pool being created from part of a quarry. Nested along Scotland's jaw-dropping northern coastline, the waters of The Trinkie are filled from the North Sea. If you are after a more rugged swim that brings you closer to nature, this might be the spot for you. Gourock Outdoor Pool, Gourock Now open for the summer season, the Gourock Outdoor Pool is a heated saltwater pool situated in the Inverclyde town of Gourock. Part of Inverclyde Leisure, the pool offers incredible views out over the Clyde Estuary to enjoy as you swim. The pool, which has been refurbished with modern changing facilities, includes a diving board—while there is also a separate kiddies' pool. Like Stonehaven Open Air Swimming Pool, Gourock Outdoor Pool also offers 'Starlight Swims' where visitors can enjoy a refreshing night-time dip. More information can be found on the Inverclyde Leisure website. New Cumnock Outdoor Swimming Pool, New Cumnock New Cumnock in Ayrshire is also home to a popular outdoor swimming pool, open seven days a week through the summer season. Situated just a 10-minute walk from the New Cumnock train station, it is Scotland's only public outdoor freshwater heated swimming pool. New Cumnock Outdoor Swimming Pool offers lane swimming, fitness classes, and private exclusive-use bookings. The pool also features changing rooms and showers. More information can be found on the New Cumnock Swimming Pool Facebook page. St Monans Tidal Pool, Fife Finally, St Monans Tidal Pool is a historic outdoor pool that has been restored by the local community. The pool sits in the shadow of an old windmill that was once used to pump seawater, and is a great place to watch the sun go down. Unlike some other pools on this roundup, St Monans Tidal Pool is not maintained and so swimmers enter the water at their own risk. However, if you are looking to take a dip on the edge of the sea, it is hard to imagine a more picturesque spot than this. More information can be found on the Welcome To Fife website.

The week in charts: Brics disjointed, power demand drops, Nvidia hits $4 trillion
The 17th Brics summit was held in Brazil earlier this week amid tariff threats from the US and geopolitical challenges. Meanwhile, India's electricity demand declined owing to a cooler summer and an early monsoon, and Nvidia stock soared, making it the world's first $4-trillion market cap company. Balancing Brics The 17th Brics summit was held in Brazil amid tariff threats and geopolitical conflicts, with the bloc seeking to strengthen the position of the global south. The absence of China's Xi Jinping and the virtual participation of Russia's Vladimir Putin owing to legal constraints underscored internal challenges. Brics+, now expanded to 11 members, represents 48% of the global population and is steadily closing the GDP gap with the G7, according to a Mint analysis. However, the bloc has more differences than similarities, with only a few countries, including India and South Africa, having strong democratic values. Electricity demand dips India's electricity demand fell 1.5% year-on-year in the June quarter to 445.8 billion kilowatt hours, according to the data from the Central Electricity Authority. This marks the first drop since the 2020 pandemic-hit first quarter of 2020. The decline in April-June 2025 was likely due to a cooler summer and an early monsoon, which reduced energy needs. The latest data from the India Meteorological Department showed that May saw a maximum temperature of 35.08 degrees Celsius, as against the normal trend of 36.60 degrees Celsius. The highest supply in a day (peak power demand met) in June also fell to about 242 GW last month from about 244 GW in June 2024. Nvidia is in a league of its own $4 trillion: That's the market cap Nvidia briefly hit on 9 July after its shares surged to an all-time high of $164.42, extending its lead over Apple and Microsoft as the world's most valuable publicly traded company. Nvidia's stock has seen strong demand in the past five years, driven by growing investor confidence in its critical role in powering AI technologies. The chipmaker's shares have gained around 21% since last year, Mint reported. The company, founded in 1993, first surpassed $2-trillion in market cap in February 2024 and $3 trillion in June 2024. Renewed US tariffs With the 9 July deadline for trade deal negotiations ending, the US has sent formal letters to 14 countries, outlining revised tariffs. Among these, Laos and Myanmar have been hit with 40% reciprocal tariffs, the highest in the current list. Five of these, including Japan and South Korea, have been hit with a 25% tariff. The new reciprocal tariffs for the listed countries are set to take effect from 1 August. India, which is trying to strike a trade deal with the US, is unlikely to receive such a formal notification, Mint reported. Accenture signals IT slump A 6% drop in Accenture's new bookings in Q3FY25 led to a sharp decline in its stock last month. This was mirrored by Indian IT stocks, highlighting the company's influence on the sector. As a major player with overlapping markets, especially in North America, Accenture is seen as a bellwether for Indian IT firms. All listed Indian IT companies earn over 50% of their revenue from the Americas, making them sensitive to demand shifts there. However, an analysis by shows that the Dublin-headquartered tech and consulting major differs from Indian IT firms in several ways, warranting a closer look beyond its quarterly numbers. Balrampur Chini's bio bet ₹2,850 crore: That's the investment Balrampur Chini Mills is making on bioplastics amid price controls and climate risks, Mint reported. The company is setting up a polylactic acid plant, India's first by a sugar firm, next to its Kumbhi mill in Uttar Pradesh, aiming for ₹2,000 crore in revenue by 2027. PLA, a biodegradable plastic made from sugar, will initially target single-use plastic substitutes. While analysts see it as an ESG-friendly growth engine, concerns persist over input risks, as the plant will still rely on sugarcane, which is a water-guzzling crop vulnerable to weather shocks. RCB's power play The Indian Premier League's (IPL) valuation rose 12.9% year-on-year to $18.5 billion in 2025, cementing its status among the world's top sporting leagues, according to a study by Houlihan Lokey. Royal Challengers Bangalore became the most valuable team after their maiden title win in 2025, replacing Chennai Super Kings. Mumbai Indians ranked second and Chennai Super Kings settled for third. Advertising revenues crossed $600 million, and viewership peaked at 678 million during the final on 3 June. With growing investor interest and cross-league expansion, IPL is evolving into a global media-sport brand, with longer seasons expected in future, the report said. Chart of the week: How urban Indians use their time Urban Indians love to watch TV and give a lower priority to reflection, relaxation and rest, a Mint analysis of the Time Use Survey 2024 showed. Watching TV is the top leisure activity, especially for urban women, while rural women, who work the hardest, prefer talking over screen time to unwind.

Alcaraz in 3rd successive Wimbledon final
Two-time defending champion Carlos Alcaraz reached his third successive Wimbledon final on Friday, battling to a 6-4, 5-7, 6-3, 7-6 (8/6) win against American fifth seed Taylor Fritz. With Hollywood star Leonardo DiCaprio watching from the stands, Alcaraz survived a titanic clash lasting two hours and 49 minutes in searing temperatures on Centre Court. As the mercury rose close to 32 degrees Celsius (90 degrees Fahrenheit), play was interrupted by several fans taken ill, but Alcaraz kept his cool to subdue the big-serving Fritz with his sublime returns and immaculate serving of his own. The 22-year-old will play seven-time Wimbledon champion Novak Djokovic or world number one Jannik Sinner in Sunday's final. Alcaraz has beaten Djokovic in the past two Wimbledon finals and holds an 8-4 edge over Sinner in their 12 meetings. "It was a really difficult match, as always when I play against Taylor. Even tougher with the conditions. It was really hot today," Alcaraz said. "I dealt with the nerves. Playing here in a semi-final is not easy. I'm really proud with the way I stayed calm and thought clearly. I'm pleased about my level." Back to his best after an inconsistent start to the tournament, the world number two looks in the mood to extend his reign at the All England Club. The five-time Grand Slam champion is on a career-best 24-match winning streak since losing to Holger Rune in the Barcelona final in April. That blistering run has brought him an epic French Open final triumph against Sinner and titles in Rome, Monte Carlo and at Queen's Club. He has won 35 of his 38 matches on grass, a golden spell including 20 successive victories at Wimbledon since losing to Sinner in the fourth round in 2022. "I'm not thinking about the winning streak or the results at all," he said. "This is my dream, stepping on these beautiful courts and playing tennis in the most beautiful tournament in the world. "I just want to enjoy this moment, that I've got to a third final in a row. I will have time to think about Sunday." Alcaraz is one win away from becoming the fifth man in the Open era to clinch three consecutive Wimbledon titles after Bjorn Borg, Pete Sampras, Roger Federer and Djokovic. He can also become the second-youngest player in the Open era to win six men's Grand Slam titles after Borg reached that mark at Wimbledon in 1978 aged 22. Fritz fell short in his bid to reach a second Grand Slam final. The 27-year-old, a US Open runner-up last year, made a gutsy effort, but Alcaraz had won both their previous meetings and he wasted no time seizing control again. Although grass-court specialist Fritz had slammed 95 aces on route to his first Wimbledon semi-final, Alcaraz's returning prowess neutralised that weapon to secure a break in the first game of the match. Alcaraz needed his eye checked midway through the set, but there was no loss of focus from the Spaniard as he held serve to take the opener. Having dropped just four of 24 points on his serve in the first set, the Spaniard found himself under fire in the second. Fritz pounced on a rare sloppy game from Alcaraz to take the set when the Spaniard produced an ill-timed double-fault and two costly unforced errors. The nerveless Alcaraz was unfazed by that threat and quickly regained the momentum, running Fritz ragged with a deft drop-shot followed by a perfect lob to break in the third game of the third set. With Alcaraz's serve virtually flawless, he added another break for good measure to secure a two sets to one lead. In a dramatic fourth set tie-break, Fritz went from 4-1 down to 6-4 up, only for Alcaraz to save both set points. Alcaraz scented victory and one last flurry of piercing ground-strokes secured his latest final berth.
