Visitors travelling to this year's Belladrum Tartan Heart Festival near Beauly are being asked not to turn up too early.
The site will open on Thursday morning for the event which runs until Saturday with up to 20,000 people expected to
attend.
The organisers stress that opening will not be before 8am and they also urge festival-goers to try and arrive outwith peak times.
"Please, please don't turn up super early to try and grab the best spot," they state.
"Whilst we love your eagerness, we cannot accommodate arrivals before 8am.
"Arriving early will not guarantee you the best spot or, indeed, the closest spot in car parks or camp sites.
"This is especially pertinent for camper vans.
"In 2019, we had reams of early arrivals. Parking in the local area and neighbours driveways is not tolerated.
"There is no rush! Peak arrival times on Thursday are 8am to midday. Arrive outwith these times if you can."
Firm gets in tune for festival
To help reduce the carbon footprint, the organisers are encouraging everyone to use public transport, or car share whenever they can.
People can Sign up to Liftshare to offer available seats in their car, or to join a group already travelling to the event.
Return coaches are running from Aberdeen, Dundee, Edinburgh and Glasgow while local bus company D&E coaches will be running regular shuttles from Inverness bus station to the festival and vice versa.
