A man has been found dead on a campsite at a music festival in Scotland.

Police said the 36-year-old was discovered among tents this afternoon at the T in the Park festival at Strathallan Castle in Perthshire.

His death is currently unexplained, Police Scotland said.

Meanwhile officers are appealing for information after being made aware of a video showing an assault that is believed to have happened on a campsite at the festival, which hosts crowds of more than 80,000 people.

Concerns were raised about traffic arrangements for the event, and the potential for anti-social behaviour.

Superintendent Colin Brown said: "The vast majority of people have enjoyed themselves and taken our advice and behaved responsibly.

"However, a small number have ignored that advice and have been dealt with. Our advice is simple - look after yourselves and your friends, behave and have a good time."

A report into the man's death will be submitted to the Procurator Fiscal, Police Scotland said.
