A spectacular light and sound experience is set to sprinkle fairy dust on the natural autumnal beauty of a Scottish forest.
The Enchanted Forest will run its show, Of The Wild: Nature By Night at Faskally Wood near Pitlochry, Perthshire, until November 4.
The show will use state-of-the-art technology, interactive special effects and atmospheric music to enchant thousands of visitors after dark.

The forest contains 25 recorded species of tree, but only a handful are native: Scots pine, silver and downy birch, ash, oak, rowan, common alder, hazel, and bird cherry (Andrew Milligan/PA)
The area where the Enchanted Forest takes place is roughly 66 hectares in size, and attracts 70,000 visitors a year, excluding The Enchanted Forest events (Andrew Milligan/PA)
Faskally is derived from the Gaelic for ‘stance by the ferry’, and most likely related to an old ferry crossing on the river Tummel (Andrew Milligan/PA)
