Black Watch Castle Museum in Perth opened its doors to families on Saturday afternoon for its Easter fun day.

During the Great Easter Egg Hunt, kids were asked to help the Easter Bunny find all his eggs in order to save Easter.

Six golden eggs were also hidden within the gallery, with guests asked to answer a question after finding each egg in order to win a prize.

As well as eggs, there were cookie decoration classes and craftwork, where spring characters were made using empty toilet rolls.

Our photographer Mhairi Edwards was on hand to capture the best moments from the event.
