Scotland’s environmental festival brought thousands of people to Fife at the weekend, including Auchtermuchty’s most famous twins.
The Big Tent in Falkland, just a few miles from their home village, was headlined by The Proclaimers, who are enjoying the success of their latest album Like Comedy.
Charlie and Craig Reid wowed an audience who had already enjoyed music from the likes of Das Contras and Treacherous Orchestra.
Some 6,000 people attended the festival of stewardship on Saturday, which was blessed with a day of sunshine. Several thousand more were estimated to have descended on Falkland Estate on Sunday.
The Proclaimers delighted fans, many of whom had come especially to see the duo, with hits old and new. Music was just one element of a packed programme, which included debates, talks, workshops, crafts and entertainment for children.
Another highlight was a debate on what makes Fife Fife involving Cardenden author Ian Rankin and children’s author Aileen Paterson, originally from Burntisland.
Ninian Stuart, of festival organisers Falkland Centre for Stewardship, was delighted with how the event had gone and paid tribute to the large team of volunteers.
He said: ”It is a huge undertaking. We had a team of 200 volunteers signed up for the weekend and they have been absolute stalwarts.
”Big Tent is the best of a truly local festival but one that reaches to people across Scotland.”
Big Tent was launched in 2006 in response to the G8 summit in Gleneagles the year before and has been staged every summer since, except last year.
Festival fans hoping to return next year, however, will have to wait to find out whether there will be a Big Tent 2013.
Mr Stuart said: ”Whether we do another Big Tent next year, the year after or at all is an open question, but we will be doing things.”Click here for a full photo gallery
