Art lovers descended on Pittenweem at the weekend as the village launched its biggest ever arts festival.
The annual event attracts as many as 25,000 visitors each year, boosting the economy by £1.8 million.
This year, 130 exhibitors are displaying their work in houses, galleries, garages and even sheds.
Launched in 1982 by a handful of local artists, the festival has grown in size and attracts visitors from across Scotland as well as overseas.
Among the exhibitors this year is Christine Borland, once shortlisted for the Turner Prize, and Sky Arts landscape artist of the year Nerine Tassie of Dysart.
Local schoolchildren are also showcasing a selection of their work in Pittenweem Primary School.
The show will run until Sunday, with the programme including a variety of exhibitions, workshops, talks, children’s events and concerts.
Visitors also flocked to Balgonie Castle, where they stepped back in time for a festival of an entirely different kind.
Members of Medieval Methil hosted a medieval festival complete with crafts, weapon displays, archery and games.
In the shadow of the castle at Milton of Balgonie, the group dressed in period costume to depict gentry, peasants, merchants, warriors and clergy from medieval times.
The aim was to provide a living picture of Scotland’s history.
