Police officers have urged wild campers who left litter and camping equipment strewn along the shore of a Highland Perthshire loch to visit them to collect cannabis they left behind.
Visitors to the loch left a tent, three camping chairs, a cool-box, sleeping bag and tarpaulin tied up over their makeshift campsite.
The party had also left behind a significant amount of litter and a quantity of what is understood to be the class C drug.
Officers patrolling the area on Saturday stumbled upon the mess.

Police jokingly urged the culprits to pay them a visit to collect their goods.
A spokesperson for the force said: “Officers patrolling Loch Rannoch on Saturday came across this campsite which appeared to have been abandoned in a hurry.
“If the former residents would like to reclaim the pungent bag of green vegetation they left behind, then pop into Pitlochry police office for a wee chat.”
Last week, police revealed they would be increasing their patrols at Highland Perthshire lochs following a spate of wild camping incidents.
Tourists are being urged not to holiday in the area until later phases lifting restrictions on lockdown.
