Thousands of music fans enjoyed a weekend of 1980s nostalgia at Scotland's Rewind festival at Scone Palace in Perthshire.

About 15,000 people attended the three-day event, which featured acts including Bryan Ferry, Belinda Carlisle and The Stranglers.

Many revellers dressed in 80s fashion, while others came as their favourite film and TV characters.

A highlight was Lulu's version of Lewis Capaldi's Someone You Loved.

Sunday's opening act was Big Country, with local MP and one-time band member Pete Wishart among the crowd.

Drummer Mark Brzezicki said the band love playing events such as Rewind which was first held in Scone in 2011.

He said: "I get to see musicians I've worked with as a session drummer, as well as being a founder member of Big Country.

"It's funny, music needs to have a 20-year gap for you to really like it again, to have that nostalgia, and that's not a bad thing.

"You remember where you were at a certain time when you hear those tunes, they have a special memory for you."

Police Scotland reported thefts from tents on Friday night, but said the festival had otherwise been well-behaved.

Insp Kevin Chase said: "I am pleased to report that the festival was a success with only two minor incidents of disorder which led to two men being arrested."
