Around 1500 people enjoyed a party in West Lothian's Kirkton Park at the weekend to launch this year's Bathgate Music Festival.

The festival, which runs until Saturday, will see a number of musical acts perform at a host of venues in the town.

Live at the Steelyard will provide free musical entertainment between 11.15am and 3pm on Saturday. And all ages are catered for, with a Mini Music Makers' session in the Regal community theatre today.
