Forget Glastonbury. Fans of the best in Scottish live music know it’s all happening in Pitlochry this weekend as Heartland Festival returns to the Perthshire town.
The two-day gathering is back for a second year, featuring acts like Kyle Falconer, Skerryvore, Nathan Evans and SAINT PHNX.
Organised by former Heartland FM breakfast show presenter Graham Howie, the festival is expected to attract 12,000 people to Pitlochry over the weekend.
And The Courier was there to soak up all of the action.
