Strathaven Balloon Festival, 2019
The UK's furthest north balloon festival, this event has grown and grown, so much so that over 20,000 people descend on this small town (population 9000) for a weekend of hot-air balloons and the funfair.

Eleven balloons were illuminated in the 'night glow'; in this image, six can be seen.
