The curtain has gone down on the latest chapter of an Angus music festival that brings bands and businesses together.
The ForfarFest began in 2012 as a platform for local pubs and firms to promote the town as a Tayside destination for one weekend every year.
Organisers celebrated the fifth year of the event this weekend, with 13 venues putting on a programme of 50 gigs and 80 hours of music over three days.
And the weekend kicked off with a triumphant set from Runrig legend Donnie Munro at the Reid Hall.
ForfarFest co-organiser Ian Whyte says the festival is unique due to its funding model, as venues have teamed up with businesses to sell wristbands which can be displayed to get discounts on local goods or services.
A £2 wristband gives access to a number of deals through the event’s Facebook page, and their sale means that future festivals will provide even more entertainment.
“The feedback has been very positive from participating venues and local business as a whole, attracting people to the town and bringing people out to the town centre,” said Mr Whyte, owner of the Plough Inn.
“The sun really helped bring people out and showed Forfar as the place to be.
“There was a happy festival atmosphere throughout the town, from start to finish.
“New to this year was the live event outside Forfar Indoor Sports, which went down very well.”
Described as the owner of the most famous voice in Scottish folk rock, Donnie Munro and his band were supported at the Reid Hall by special guests Skipinnish and Sketch and local opening act Eddie McNaughton, in the only ticketed gig of the weekend.
Promoter Ewan Phillip thanked volunteers for their assistance on Friday night, and the bands for making a long journey to put on a “great show”.
Northern neighbours Brechin enjoyed their Pageant in the City event, the third annual such event after a return from hiatus.
Donald Macintyre of organisers BRAVO Brechin thanked a “faithful band of helpers and volunteers” and those who brought vintage vehicles for the procession as well as stall holders at the town park.
