Scouts have descended on Perthshire for the first Blair Atholl Jamborette in four years.

The event, which began on Monday, is the first since 2018 due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Scorching weather marked the start of the 10-day jamborette, with record-breaking temperatures across the UK.

It has been underway during the heatwave as temperatures soared to 30C on Tuesday.

Over 1,800 Scouts are in attendance at the event, which had been held at Blair Atholl Castle grounds every two years since 1946, until the pandemic.

Our photographer, Steven MacDougall, was there to capture the best moments on Wednesday.
