The festival is held on the Belladrum Estate near Beauly in the Highlands.

Long established music acts such as Gun and the Dangleberries performed, but also new acts such as The Mermaids.

As well as music, the event festival featured street trials cyclist Danny MacAskill's Drop and Roll show, children's entertainers Funbox and also wrestling, Hula Hoop performers and computer coding challenge that involved moving Lego robots around an obstacle course.

Bella benefited from mostly fine weather, though there were spells of heavy rain on Saturday night.

The Met Office has a weather warning in place and has described the high winds as "unseasonable".
