| | | "T" in the Park feels the heat
Dark clouds replaced bright sunshine on Sunday as thousands of fans enjoyed the final day of Scotland's biggest music festival.
Saturday's hot weather left many music fans at "T" in the Park as red as lobsters. And first aid tents were inundated with requests for sun cream.
The organisers of the event at Balado, near Kinross, said it was shaping up to be the best in its eight year history.
Highlights on Sunday include the US band Green Day and the Foo Fighters, Doves and The Chemical Brothers.
On Saturday night, rockers Oasis treated more than 50,000 fans to a sunset performance of new material mixed with old favourites.
The crowd saved the biggest cheers for songs such as Don't Look Back In Anger, Live Forever and Acquiesce.
