The Red Arrows display team dazzled crowds in Aberdeenshire at the weekend.

The famous RAF aerobatic team appeared during the Scottish Traditional Boat Festival in Portsoy.

Their high-speed and close-proximity manoeuvres - and red, white and blue trails - were captured on camera by members of the public.

This year marks the 60th anniversary of the Red Arrows.
