Belladrum has now reached its final day, and thankfully the sun is still shining over the festival!

I was grateful to get a bit more sleep in my tent last night, despite some rain showers over night.

Last night, saw KT Tunstall play her up-beat, well-known tunes to the crowd at The Hot House Stage, followed by Bastille and Martin Kemp providing banger after banger with his 80's DJ Set.

Over at the Garden Stage, Fatherson got the crowd going with some moshing, closely followed by Alabama 3 who played their hit single 'Woke Up This Morning'.

Both KT Tunstall and Alabama 3 paid touching tributes to recently passed Irish singer-songwriter Sinéad O'Connor.

Now for today...

As it's the last day of the festival, things are going all out, with music kicking off from 11.30am with the Feis Rois Ceilidh Trail at The Grassroots Stage.

Singer-songwriter Niamh Maclennan from Applecross will be playing her set at The Free Range Folk Stage at 12pm.

There are another two weddings taking place at the Belladrum Temple today, with ceremonies happening at 11.30am and 1pm.

If you want to know a little more about one of this year's artists, then you can catch an 'Up Close and Personal Interview with Kate Gregson-Macleod at The Verb Garden at 3pm.

English pop rock band Scouting for Girls are taking to the Hot House stage at 6.30pm followed by Highland favourites Peat & Diesel at 8pm. Main headline Travis will be playing their well-known hits at 9.40pm with fireworks taking off at 10.55pm.

Over at the Garden Stage, Torridon regulars will be bringing their energetic style to the crowds at 6.15pm, followed by alt-rock band The Mysterines, Dylan John Thomas and Pale Waves.

Here's hoping the sun stays shining for the rest of the day, otherwise we'll all be singing to Travis quite literally, 'why does it always rain on me?'

Have a good day Bella-goers!
