Organisers of one of Scotland's biggest music festivals have been forced to relocate the event to Glasgow.
Bosses from Electric Fields announced on Tuesday that the festival is moving site for this summer's event.
Those in charge cited the "rising costs of producing outdoor camping festivals", as well as problems with transport on their previous site at Drumlanrig Castle in Dumfries and Galloway.
This means that those travelling to the festival will need to make their way to the new venue, SWG3, more than 60 miles away.
In a statement posted on the festival's website, organisers said: "Due to the rising costs of producing outdoor camping festivals and ongoing logistical and transport challenges we have made the difficult decision to move site to an inner city location in Glasgow.

"Electric Fields Festival 2019 will relocate to SWG3 with the event going ahead with the same full lineup (plus a few new additions), on the same dates, with all the usual Electric Fields stages (outdoors and indoors), Our Kids Electric, plus quality street food & drink.
"SWG3 is located in the popular Finnieston area, with excellent transport links from around Glasgow and further afield. The venue capacity is also slightly larger than we normally have so we’ll be able to welcome some more of you to join us.
"We have had 5 amazing years producing the festival there and thank everyone at the castle for their immense support, as well as everyone involved in making those lasting memories in the fields."

Bosses added: "We’ve contacted all ticket holders so please check your inbox for more information, for any queries please contact info@electricfieldsfestival.com
"We look forward to you joining us on the next chapter for Electric Fields as we move to the urban jungle."
