The Wickerman Festival will not be held again, organisers have announced.

One of its co-founders, Jamie Gilroy, died in December 2014.
In a post on the Wickerman Festival Facebook page, organisers said: "After much thought and consideration, Patsy Gilroy and Jennie Camm have decided that the Wickerman Festival will not be continuing.
"Since it's creation by Jamie Gilroy, Founding Director, the festival has provided us all with an eclectic mix of memories.
"It's these that we wish people to look back on and remember. Thank you all for your loyal support over the years and please feel free to post your favourite moments for all of us to enjoy."
The festival is renowned for featuring the burning of a giant statue inspired by the horror film The Wickerman.
Acts on the event's line-up over the years have included Lulu, The Waterboys, Primal Scream and Dizzee Rascal.
