Crowds of young fans have gathered in Kinross-shire following the arrival of pop superstar Justin Bieber.
The 22-year-old Canadian singer is in the midst of a sell-out UK tour and has splashed out on a series of luxury properties as he travels the country.

Ahead of three gigs at the giant SSE Hydro in Glasgow, it has emerged that he has rented a stately home in Kinross-shire to be his base.
The luxury estate will be his hideaway, along with his entourage, between concerts yesterday, Saturday and Sunday.
He has been spotted enjoying the peace and quiet offered by the grounds of the exclusive stately home and even walked to the gates to chat briefly with fans.
He was later seen on the steps of the mansion house, apparently with a mobile phone in his hands.
The star, who currently has two tracks in the top ten, has kept a high profile during his UK tour.
Earlier this week he followed-up stunning shows in Manchester – where a concert had to briefly stopped because fans were screaming so loudly – with a surprise appearance at an ice hockey game.

He was given a jersey and a spot in the locker room before joining Manchester Storm on the ice for a practice session.
Bieber made a vast and futuristic underground house in Helsby his base for shows in Liverpool and Manchester.
It boasted a helipad, football pitch, indoor swimming pool, tree house, zip wire and ten bathrooms.
After making a number of controversial comments, the singer has enjoyed a stunning renaissance, with a string of hits.
His tour is also proving hugely successful, though the UK leg has been dogged with concerns over crowd noise, with the young star warning audiences in Manchester and Birmingham.
Nonetheless, its success has already seen the European leg of the tour extended ahead of shows in the US.
The Purpose World Tour will then head to Latin America in early 2017.
