The final exodus from Strathallan began on Monday as thousands of fans said goodbye to an often controversial T in the Park 2015.
The festival was dogged with complaints about how it had been organised in its first year at Strathallan.
Hundreds of people took to Facebook to complaint about transport to and from the festival site.
There were lengthy delays as people attempted to leave the site with single roads blocked by buses and many cars trapped in mud.
Some people were stuck for more than five hours as they attempted to leave a car park that, thanks to rain, turned into a quagmire.
The festival ended on Sunday night, many campers stayed on site until Monday morning.
However, they still faced lengthy delays as they attempted to leave the site with claims some tailbacks stretched back for several miles.

More seriously, a 36-year-old man was found dead in one of the festival toilets on Saturday while a 27-year-old man was taken to hospital after being hit by a bus in a dedicated coach lane on the edge of the site. He remains in a serious condition in hospital. There were also complaints that some tents were set alight – a “tradition” at music festivals.
Police Scotland said these incidents were quickly dealt with by DF Concerts’ on-site fire crews.
There were 54 arrests over the weekend with around 20 people due in court on Monday
Geoff Ellis, T in The Park Festival Director said: “Overall it’s been a great first year at Strathallan the bands were brilliant, the site looked wonderful and we know that the majority of people have had a fantastic time.
“We also know traffic queues coming in and out of the drop off points have left some people frustrated and we apologise for this because we obviously want the experience to be positive for everyone from start to finish.
“A combination of things have contributed to the delays, including the weather, but traffic is moving today and we do also need people to be patient. Years of infrastructure and tried and tested plans at Balado means that our audience is used to a very quick exit from the site which is not the norm for most other major events around the country. We’ll take learnings from this year and will work on improving the times for the future. We thank fans for their co-operation.”
“We’re also delighted to say that the site’s very own high flying birds, a family of four Osprey, have been undisturbed by the festival and there has been no change in their behavior during the event.”
Police Scotland and the Scottish Ambulance Service said the behavior of the audience was largely positive throughout the weekend.
Superintendent Colin Brown said: “T in the Park draws to a close for another year and we’d like to thank fans for behaving responsibly. There have been 54 arrests, similar to last year’s event, and whilst some of these have been for more serious offences, we have been helped by festival goers providing information to our officers, resulting in a majority of those crimes being detected or having positive lines of enquiry being followed.”
Nick Moore of the Scottish Ambulance Service said: “We’ve had 700 people through the hospital tent this year which is a significantly lower number than 2014. We mainly treated festival goers for minor, weather related ailments and sprains and strains. Thanks to everyone who took our advice and came prepared for this year’s festival.”
