Drug amnesty bins have been set up at T in the Park, allowing festival-goers to hand in illicit substances “without risk of prosecution of exclusion”.
The move was announced by Police Scotland as thousands descended on Strathallan.
Earlier, the venue had been rocked by the death of two young revellers.

Politicians have called for a quick probe into the deaths, which are currently being described as “unexplained”.
Music over the bumper weekend is coming from the likes of the Stone Roses, Calvin Harris and the Red Hot Chili Peppers.
Festival organisers have warned festival-goers to “steer clear” of drugs during the extravaganza.
Amnesty bins have also been set up in previous years.
