Blue tinge?

Yep, I can see it too so it isn't just your monitor!
I'm not really sure what's causing it - I have had similar effects caused by haze, and also when there's a lot of snow about which upset the auto white balance. I would suggest that it's a white balance problem assuming that the weather was clear when you took the photo.

Last week I assembled all my lenses and in turn, took a picture of a dull white evening sky (minimal discernible cloud to be seen). I shot RAW images in each case.
My Pentax 16-45 & 18-55 Mk1, Samsung 50-200 and Rikenon 50mm f2 all gave a blue cast on the image.
My Tamron 28mm & 80-210mm gave a grey/white appearance to the sky.
Having reviewed other photographs taken with my 18-55, I concluded that it was not unusual to see somewhat of a blue cast.
The differentiation between Pentax/Samsung, Ricoh and Tamron might be as a result of different lens coatings applied.
Also consider which type of White Balance correction was applied.

Like other said, white balance seems a likely suspect.
Were there any filters on the lens?

K10D set to AWB, Av, f16 and ISO400 and JPG. It's been cropped a bit and sharpened but not excessively. I've got a raw file but my trial version of Silkypix has expired so can't try things out. Strangely I've not noticed it before.I would say WB was it on auto??

What blue haze? I just want to be there. Whitsun still seems a long way off...
Oh yes, it is a bit blue. You can sort it out in Photoshop, I expect.
That snow, the Carneddau, the Straits...

I took this on Tuesday morning at approx 10:30 in good light. On my monitor and to my eyes there is a blue cast to it. Does anybody have any idea what mmay have caused it? Taken with a 18-55 Mk1. Is it the lens, is it the light or as is probably the case is it me? I've tried to get rid of it but to no avail.

Not sure about digital stuff but if you see this effect on film it is due to UV light. Try a UV filter and see what difference it makes.I took this on Tuesday morning at approx 10:30 in good light.

Indeed, you can just use the white clouds to set the correct white balance it becomes slightly less blue then.

There is a thread in the "Lenses For Pentax Cameras" forum which is currently discussing the effects of coatings.
https://www.pentaxuser.com/forum/topic/a-s-vs--da-s-18375
My experiments with lenses from different manufacturers were done using RAW files so no WB issues, where Pentax/Samsung & Ricoh looked blueish, Tamrom looked neutral.
