A music-mad family missing festivals staged a mini T in the Park in their garden – complete with a chemical toilet and bag checks.
Rebecca Geddes, mum Lynne and stepdad Alexander Laird took a week to plan and build their festival site at home in Invergordon, Easter Ross.
Nursery worker Rebecca, 20, painter Alexander, 39, and carer Lynne, 41, tried to create their T in the Garden with as many similarities to the real thing.
As well as music from top acts – from their record collection and Spotify – they even put an outdoor chemical toilet in place to capture that real festival feeling.
They had their own fairground complete with washing whirligig merry-go-round, a Slam shed blaring out the latest tunes, snack bar and a firework display consisting of a sparkler to end the event.
Their hilarious footage of the T in The Garden festival even shows them queuing up for passes and having their bags checked before camping out in the garden.
Rebecca said: “My stepdad has gone to a festival every year since he was 16 and it would be a shame to miss out a year due to events being cancelled. Everyone was needing to have a bit of a laugh.”
The family had planned to attend a range of events including Belladrum as well as Party at the Palace (not cancelled yet), Peat and Diesel Irish tour, Hunter and the Bear, Skippinish, Westlife and Davy and Sam Cowan.
Rebecca said: “We thought up the idea last weekend and building started on Friday.
“We were lucky that we had scaffolding, tents, gazebo, portaloo and a saw to cut a hole in the shed. The next-door neighbours saw it all from their garden and windows. Entry was free for us as long as you had fun.
“We had Peat and Diesel headlining on the pyramid stage, Davy Cowan and Sam in the Arch Inn and Flynn in the Slam shed.
“We had a nice clean toilet, campsite, burger van, stall, and shows.
“We never expected it to go viral but are really happy that it did.”
