Music fans were in for a treat this weekend as a popular music festival returned to the Black Isle.

An event created by local stars Peat & Diesel, the Black Isle Belter music festival made a comeback on the Black Isle Showground in Muir of Ord for its second year.

It saw a line up mixing local acts and bands from across the UK — including RuMac, Scouting for Girls, Trail West and Alabama 3.

The event was also supporting local mental health charity Mikeysline.

The three-piece Stornoway band and founders of the event were also headliners on both nights — being their only Highland gigs this year.

Commenting after the event on their Facebook page they said: “Thank you all for giving us another weekend of memories and coming along to share them with us, thanks to every single person who made this possible too, the work behind the scenes was monumental.
