A teenage boy has died at a music festival in the Highlands.
The 19-year-old collapsed in the main area at the RockNess festival last night.
He is thought to have taken drugs.
The teenager, from Portobello in Edinburgh, was taken to the hospital tent and stabilised before being transferred to Raigmore Hospital in Inverness.
Police said he failed to respond to treatment and died in the early hours of this morning.
A Northern Constabulary spokesman said: "Early indications are that the man may have consumed drugs and this is one of the lines of inquiry at this stage.
"A post mortem will be carried out to determine the cause of death.
"His next of kin have been informed."
A report will be sent to the Procurator Fiscal.
Meanwhile, police last night named two men killed in a road crash involving a bus taking people to the festival.
A van driver and his passenger died of their injuries following a collision with a bus on the A9 at Ralia, in the Highlands.
They are Mark McFarlane, 38, and Barry Murray, 28, from the Glasgow area, both painters and decorators.
The bus driver was airlifted to the Southern General Hospital in Glasgow with serious injuries after she became trapped in the vehicle.
Fourteen passengers were taken to Raigmore Hospital in Inverness for treatment to a range of injuries, none of which are life-threatening.
