The Foreign Office has update travel advice for anyone visiting or planning a trip to Turkey.
New guidance warns of a heightened risk of terrorism for parts of the popular holiday destination. Travellers from Glasgow and the rest of the UK are being warned that there is a risk of visitors being targeted or caught up in attacks, particularly in major cities, according to the advice.
Most attacks have happened in the south-east of the country, as well as in Ankara and Istanbul. An attack in November in the Beyoglu area of Istanbul left six people dead and dozens more injured, reports Wales Online.

The update, published on January 29, reads: "Terrorists are very likely to try to carry out attacks in Turkey," the guidance says. "Attacks could be indiscriminate, and occur without warning, including in places visited by foreigners, affecting public buildings, places of worship, major events or large public gatherings.
"You should be especially vigilant and where possible avoid places frequented by Westerners, including diplomatic premises, places of worship, and around significant religious occasions and public holidays; terrorist groups sometimes call for attacks around these times.
"Previous methods of attack have included armed assaults, suicide bombings, car bombings, rocket attacks, arson and improvised explosive devices left in refuse bins, crowded areas, shops and on public transport. Be vigilant, monitor media reports and keep up to date with this travel advice.
"There is a heightened risk of terrorist attack against the aviation industry in Turkey. You should co-operate fully with security officials at airports."
The Foreign Office is advising against all travel to areas in a 10km radius of the Syrian border. All but essential travel should be avoid to Sirnak and the province of Hakkari.
