The inaugural Otherlands Music & Arts Festival welcomed thousands of happy revellers to Perthshire over the weekend.
Nestled within the leafy grounds of Scone Palace, the boutique camping event was billed as “more than a music festival” with a range of other entertainment available.
Comedy, cutting edge art, industry panels, DJ workshops, wellness activities and more ensured crowds smiled from start to finish across Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
Tom Ketley, founder of Otherlands Music & Arts Festival, said the event’s debut “surpassed all expectations”.
He added: “We want to thank everyone involved for making our first year so memorable, we can’t wait to bring it back to you again next year.”
The sun shone as the gates opened to the campsite at midday on Friday.
