Belladrum party is in full swing

The Belladrum party is in full swing as thousands of revellers descended on a tiny Highland estate.

Even the start of rain could not dampen the spirit of hundreds of festival-goers at the family-friendly event last night.

The addition of Sir Tom Jones to the bill in March meant that the festival sold out in record time.

Now those lucky fans have packed the fields around the Belladrum Estate with their colourful tents and camper vans.

As the music continued into the small hours, fans gave the event the thumbs up.

Belladrum will also play a major part in the lives of a handful of happy couples who have chosen to hold their wedding there watched by family – and festival fans.

And for the first time, those revellers seeking a touch of luxury can take a dip in a hot tub.

Crowds also watched acclaimed Skye bike rider Danny Macaskill turn some tricks.

Tonight, indie band Razorlight will bring the event to a dramatic close, with the traditional Belladrum fireworks display at the end of their set.

Other highly anticipated performances today include Billy Bragg, Capercaillie and Band of Skulls.
