Safety Warning For Belladrum Revellers
The event near Beauly marks its 12 anniversary this year.
Preparations are underway at the site of this year's Belladrum Tartan Heart Festival.
18,000 revellers are expected to descend upon the site near Beauly this weekend.
The Manic Street Preachers will headline 3 days of entertainment as the event marks its 12th anniversary.
Emergency services toured the site earlier and issued messages to music fans to stay safe while having fun.
Police Scotland Event Commander, Chief Inspector Mairi MacInnes said: "Belladrum is a family festival with large numbers of young people in attendance, therefore it is additionally important to drink responsibly and we will take appropriate action if we come across underage drinking.
"Festival-goers are reminded that the terms and conditions of purchased tickets clearly state that persons under the age of 18 must be accompanied by a responsible adult on entering the festival venue and at all times while attending the festival."
Debbie Stewart, Coordinator for Highland Alcohol & Drugs Partnership said: “Don’t take unnecessary risks.
"Our advice is to avoid taking drugs.
"Substances like ecstasy and cocaine can cause dehydration and overheating, especially when mixed with alcohol and taken whilst dancing in warm temperatures.
“Also, just because a substance claims to be legal, it doesn’t mean it is, and it doesn’t mean it is safe.
"Many so called legal highs contain illegal substances and research chemicals that haven’t been properly tested."
