Red Hot Chilli Pipers founder Stuart Cassells opened Perth Highland Games on Sunday as he stepped into the role of Chieftain.
The Games welcomed guests from around the world to the North Inch to enjoy the dancing, piping and heavy competitions.
In addition to the Perth and District and the Vale of Atholl pipe bands, the St John’s College pipe band from Zimbabwe and the Roy Roy pipe band from Canada showed off their skills.
Former piper Stuart, who now manages the Famous Grouse Experience, was decked out in Famous Grouse tartan for the occasion.
He said: “It’s a great day, with great weather and a beautiful setting.
“I’m always really impressed by the commitment of the competitors in Highland Games – they may not have the riches or the fame of the Olympians, but they give it their all just the same.
“I competed at Perth Highland Games on many occasions so it’s an honour to be asked to come back as Chieftain.”
The weekend of Games activity was kicked off at Wade’s Park in, Aberfeldy on Friday.
Saturday was the second day of the Atholl and Breadalbane Agricultural Show and Highland Gathering, and saw livestock judging in the morning followed by games and races in the afternoon.
The attendance was round about the 4000 of recent years with people up to eight deep around the arena and both stands busy throughout the afternoon.
The event was opened after a march to the ground by Kintore Pipe Band, led by Drum Major Ronnie Rennie and Pipe Major Bruce Lobban and the 2016 Chieftain, Michael Campbell, and members of the Clan Menzies and competitors.
Mr Campbell presented awards for long service in agriculture and estate work.
The Mains of Murthly Cup for long service in agriculture was presented to Harry Farron, who has been at Lude Estate for 34 years.
The Society Long Service Award for long service by an employee of an agricultural estate and a silver medal by the Agricultural Society were presented to Jane Anderson, who has been archivist with Atholl Estates for 32 years.
